[Devil-linux-develop] Where is passwdgen?

[Andrzej O. <an...@ma...>]

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

Hey,

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

So we need generate random passwords with separate scripts.

Maybe this is best solution. Without knowledge about this private script atack 
is harder.

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.

apg is good for that - generates pronounceable rubbish.

e.g:
duibTadBad9 (du-ib-Tad-Bad-NINE)
NadUcIts4 (Nad-Uc-Its-FOUR)
VodvamArf0Of (Vod-vam-Arf-ZERO-Of)
duddUKnow1 (dudd-U-Know-ONE)
SyWipthylv9 (Sy-Wip-thylv-NINE)
KnagtyozFob9 (Knag-tyoz-Fob-NINE)

It's not on DL though :-(

Thanks, Stefan

I used passwdgen with option -p (pronounced). Now I did it in this manner:

so I have three syllables and two specials. This should be simple to remember.
