Very true, and Windows also allows characters which standard AS400
passwords may not contain.  So it can take longer to crack a lanman
password usely solely on windows machines.  But this thread is in the
context of AS400 user passwords, where 8-10 character lanman passwords
are effectively no harder than 7 character passwords.
