Choose good passwords - snippet from Neil Fraser's web server auth'n log

In response to mahmud's question where he asked:

  > Why is this news? just see your /var/log/security

To some extent this is some data in response to the question asked here:

I didn't post it there because it seems to stand alone and be of general interest, independently of that question.

Usually people on HN can make their own deductions and draw their own conclusions, but I guess it might be better if someone writes a complete blog-post to explain all the relevant points. I'm not qualified, but I'm sure there's a great post underlying this raw data. Or your own.
