Strong password generation

Posted by: Anonymous [ip: 169.233.25.226] on September 26, 2007 01:55 PM
<code>PASSWORD_LENGTH="10" && tr -cd [:graph:] < /dev/urandom | head -c $PASSWORD_LENGTH</code>

Note: I have only confirmed this works on GNU/Linux. OpenBSD's head utility does not support the -c option.
