[c-nsp] Stupid "Security Questions"

This is just me whining hoping someone from Cisco will listen.

So I log in today to run a crashinfo file through the output interpreter
and lo and behold, cisco is become infected with those stupid "security
question" things I loathe to no end. For the love of $diety, why? Why
must you force me to make my account less secure with information people
could find out easier than my standard random memorized combination
passwords?

My solution? Answer the security questions with an MD5 hash of a few
choice four-letter words I'd like to share with the management group who
brought this upon me.
