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.
