Summary: Passgen insecure

Initial Comment:
When the "passgen" tool creates a password, the result 
should not be stored in the history buffer, for security's 
sake.

passgen does not store the results in the history. it stores 
the request (passgen) but not the actual resulting password.

the info help for passgen details the insecurity issues with 
using the search to generate passwords for you, this is about 
as much as we can hope for.

Or just use backspace to delete the results of the passgen
command (?)

Workaround : send Ctrl+Del afterwards to flush the history.
