  Haha, this is even more baffling! How did you know that? PS: Might it have come from a botched attempt to hash the current date?

    Yes, it's true. I think I can explain it as follows. I wanted to type: date | sha1sum Then another part of my brain decided to type: echo "blah blah gibberish" | sha1sum But then I ended up typing: echo date | sha1sum I suspect you could reverse engineer that with standard password cracking techniques.
