Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Each beginning of a semester I create some 50 accounts on my server. Till now I have used a default password for every account, but I intend to give every student a unique password from now on. Question is: Are there any programs that help in producing passwords of any quality? I imagine I could chop up, say, md5-checksums into ascii chars and remove the ones that don't fit this purpose etc. But if there already exists a program to do this job I'd rather use it. /Micke ---------------------------------- Michael Josefsson, MSEE mj@isy.liu.se This message was sent by XFMail running on FreeBSD 3.4 ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
