Passgen (c) Leszek "Leon" Krupinski 2000 d@z.pl Passgen - small application that creates a random password, i.e. -h --help Of course help :) -s --silent Display only genereted password -c --crypt Crypt password with MD5 - normal password will be sent do stderr -l n --length=n Set generated password length to n. So as you can see, it's very simple. I've found 1 bug: - passgen generates only one unique password per second (you know, srand initialised with time() ), so if you want to use it with script you have to add "sleep 1" after calling passgen. Of course I know how to fix it, but I have to find some time.
