see here -
Someone recently recommended sysutils/pwgen for generating user
passwords. Out of curiosity I had a look at how it works, and I don't
like the look of its PRNG initialization:
#ifdef RAND48
srand48((time(0)9) ^ (getpgrp()15) ^ (getpid()) ^ (time(0)11));
#else
srand(time(0) ^ (getpgrp() 8)

Even better: make RANDOM() call random() instead of rand(), and
initialize the rng with srandomdev().
Another random password generator is in security/apg, and that one
already uses
