   Modified Files:   
   	src/sbbs3/str.cpp   
   Log Message:   
   Rework part of the "good password" checking algorithm   
      
   Require that a good password contain a sequence of unique characters   
   (not repeating, incrementing, or decrementing in ASCII code value) of at least   
   half the configured minimum password length. By default, the minimum password   
   length is 4 chars, so this means a sequence of at least 2 unique characters   
   is required. If the minimum password length is increased by the sysop, so is   
   the minimum required unique sequence length. The "PasswordInvalid" text.dat   
   string is printed when passwords are rejected by this criteria.   
      
   Previously, the following would be rejected by this portion of the algo,   
   this logic has been replaced by the above:   
   - all chars the same (would print the "PasswordInvalid" text.dat string)   
   - first 4 chars are incrementing ("PasswordObvious" string printed)   
   - first 4 chars are decrementing ("PasswordObvious" string printed)   
      
   but now, a password that starts with "1234" or "abcd" is fine so long as it's   
   longer than that and contains the minimum unique sequence length. This will   
   prevent SBBS from rejecting high quality (e.g. randomly generated or   
   crypto-hashed) passwords that just happen to begin with an incrementing   
   sequence of 4 digits or alpha-characters.
