>Description:
The section of code dealing with generating random passwords (-w option) appears to be in the wrong place in the code. The fix for the -w problem (which Jonathan Bresler and myself came up with) is below. I am working on a fix for the -m issue. We need pw fixed for a contract which BSDi has with our company. Jordan Hubbard (jkh@freebsd.org) is the engineer for this project.
>How-To-Repeat:
/usr/sbin/pw useradd test1 -c "Test User 1" -d /home/test1 -m -s /bin/sh -w random
/usr/sbin/pw usermod test1 -w random
Does not generate a random password.
>Fix:
# diff pw_user.c.orig pw_user.c
