It defaults to 2 chars from the hostname and 4 random digits. I have don't have a hostname (not set in rc.conf) (equivalent to hostname being "" instead of not existing?). The result is that opiepasswd creates a seed with 4 chars only. Later, opiekey(1) rejects this seed. >How-To-Repeat: # hostname "" switch to a user who has never used opie (no entry in /etc/opiekeys) # opiepasswd -cf >Fix: Could use one or two random chars if the hostname is too short (trivially patch contrib/bin/newseed.c?). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
