Dears, As in subject: passwdgen vanished in last half year. Are there any reasons? My script uses passwdgen and now does not work? There is no script to build. But the menuconfig configuration exist yet. What I should do? Using other program instead (any suggenstions) or build passwdgen as my addon? On list there is no mention. Regards -- Andrzej Odyniec |

Hey, it was removed with 1.4RC5, since it isn't maintained anymore.

If it is ok, that you generate passwords, which are not easy to remember, you could do something like < /dev/urandom tr -dc _A-Za-z0-9 | head -c15 which generates a password of 15 chars length.

Thanks, Stefan I used passwdgen with option -p (pronounced). Now I did it in this manner: > #!/usr/bin/awk -f > BEGIN{ > c="bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxzBCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXZ" > v="aeiouyAEIOUY" > s="0123456789!@$%-=/+" > srand() > for (i=1;i<=1;i++) > { > code="" > for (j=1;j<=8;j++) > { > if(j==2||j==4||j==6)code = code""substr(v,int(rand()*length(v))+1,1) > if(j==1||j==3||j==5)code = code""substr(c,int(rand()*length(c))+1,1) > if(j==7||j==8||j==9)code = code""substr(s,int(rand()*length(s))+1,1) > } > print code > } > } so I have three syllables and two specials. This should be simple to remember. Regards Andrzej Odyniec |
