Public bug reported:
Hi,
when I generate a password hash for a user-selected password (with --clearfrom)
that is longer than 12 characters,
the original password and hashed version are concatenated.
This output messes up my other scripts, since they expect 2 fields to be
present when parsing.
Example:
root@melissa:~# echo AAAAAAAAAAAAA | makepasswd --crypt --clearfrom /dev/stdin
AAAAAAAAAAAAAhtgSp/lr98hzo
root@melissa:~# echo AAAAAAAAAAAAA | makepasswd --crypt --clearfrom
/dev/stdin --verbose

Password=AAAAAAAAAAAAAEncrypted String=YJS/ZC1rz5hic
The problem can be fixed in the Clear() subrouting in /usr/bin/makepasswd, by
adding the following line (patch included):
$CharFormat = length($Clear) + 3;
