G'day again,

To be honest I'm not 100% sure.  From memory anything about 10,000 is
considered fine, but I've usually got for numbers with significance by
stringing together birthday dates with a random number to join them.
So, take Australia day (26th of the 1st Month and go) 26901 for webmin
:)  Or takes the ages of two people and another number (or the age of
a place you work or live or something).

Hope it helps.

Hoo Roo,
Alex.
