Yes, that does look like Perl 4 from sometime last century. If you have to make a password to meet the stupid 8 char requirement you still sometimes see, this (nabbed from cmdlinefu, IIRC) works: dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 2>/dev/null | base64 | head -1 | cut -c4-11 They're pretty hostile passwords it makes. I mostly use it to make new, instantly-forgotten Amazon/Ebay/$GamingSite passwords for the many, many people who mistakenly think their email address is my gmail address. Stewart
