I was after knowledge about how       to manage current install password generation after seeing a few user       passwords still using md5sum.              Other distributions have changed to sha512              I was not worried about a brute force attack because of the current       login fail attempt lockout counter setting.              If I need a stronger password I can use something like        head -c 5 /dev/urandom | md5sum | cut -c-32       or openssl rand 32 | md5sum | cut -c-32       where md5sum can be any one of other /usr/bin/sha* programs. :-8              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
