     I'm not sure of the value of this compared to the amount of
bookkeeping it would take.

     Since users having their passwords taken almost certainly means they
chose an easy-to-guess password, the right solution is to educate the
users.  I don't see why Services should have to run through hoops to try
and solve this problem.  (Of course, if your server is being
packet-sniffed, then you have other problems altogether.)
