Password Generator
I need a great Password Generator program. I looked at a few of them, but none of them seemed to be what I wanted. So I have decided to write my own. (That's the cool thing about being a programmer....I always get what I want in software
)
Do you have any password generators that you like? Or do you have any thoughts on what you'd like to see in a password generator? I'm looking for ideas... No promises that I will implement anything. But you never know....I might. Or if I find a really great password generator, I might just go with that.
I plan on implementing this as a ksh script and I will be sure it runs on pdksh as well. So if have either ksh or pdksh you will be able to run the script.

exist in but exists in the Protected Password database, then all inconsistencies are reported. Fields in the Protected
Password database are then checked for reasonable values. For example, all time stamps of past events are checked to make
sure that they have times less than the times returned by time(2).
Fields in the Terminal Control database are checked for reasonable values.
