- I recently rank the 'crack' program on our firewall machine and had some nasty
- surprises! Yikes!
-
- So, does anyone have a password generator program? The kind that makes 'typable',
- pronounceable passwords, but ones that are meaningless? I'd like to make it
- available to my users for those who can't make up random gubbish on their own.
-
- Also, what about a version of the passwd program that applies crack-style rules to
- the user's choice and refuses to let them enter obviously crackable passwords in
- the first place?
