Nothing makes you safe if you are using LANMAN passwords in your
system. Using spaces in 1way encrypted passwords helps a bit, but not
great. Using 1 time passwords may be best, but you have to either put
in a bit of hardware in place (Cryptocard, SecureID) or have a sheet
of phrases (OPIE). And none of these help if you are dealing with a
trojaned system (replacing SSH, telnet, keyboard, etc.)
