Its not entirely redundant. I like it because it has the most option of any of the usual programs that people use, and because it's written in perl, so it's easy to transfer to other systems and platforms. I often forget which of pwgen and mkpasswd has the option I want, so I'll just use makepasswd for simplicity. BTW: Colin, if you decide that you don't want to adopt this one, I'd be happy to take it as well. I use it quite a bit and it looked like a nice simple package to have as my first debian package. -- Ted Cabeen http://www.pobox.com/~secabeen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check Website or Keyserver for PGP/GPG Key BA0349D2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I have taken all knowledge to be my province." -F.
