Generate a random password
Hello All...
Can someone help me generate a random password which will be 7 characters long which contains alpha-numeric characters using shell script.
I am looking to store the output of the script that generates the password to a variable within a script and use it as the password.
Thanks,
Chiru

Hi, Guz!
I'm working on a scripts compiler which needs a function to generate random strings. I think REGX may be a good solution to restrict the string format. Before DIYing I'd like asking for any existing libs or codes.
Any help will be appreciated! (7 Replies)

radcrypt
RADCRYPT(8) System Manager's Manual RADCRYPT(8)
NAME
radcrypt - generate password hash for use with radius, or validates a password hash
SYNOPSIS
radcrypt [-d|--des] [-m|--md5] [-c|--check] plaintext_password [hashed_password]
DESCRIPTION
radcrypt generates a hashed digest of a plaintext password, or can validate if a password hash matches a plaintext password. DES and MD5
hashes are currently supported. When generating a password hash a random salt is generated and applied.
A hashed password can be validated by specifying -c or --check and passing hashed_password after plaintext_password on the command line.
In this case hashed_password will be checked to see if it matches plaintext_password. If so "Password OK" will be printed and the exit sta-
tus will be 1, otherwise "Password BAD" will be printed and exit status will be 0 (Note this is the opposite of a normal successful shell
status).
OPTIONS
-d --des
Use a DES (Data Encryption Standard) hash (default). Ignored if performing a password check.
-m --md5
Use a MD5 (Message Digest 5) hash. Ignored if performing a password check.
-c --check
Perform a validation check on a password hash to verify if it matches the plantext password.
EXAMPLES
$ radcrypt foobar
HaX0xn7Qy650Q
$ radcrypt -c foobar HaX0xn7Qy650Q
Password OK
