I use pwgen to generate my passwords and a password vault to keep them as a backup. Most of my important passwords are used well enough that by now I remember them (and they are strong enough that I don't have to change them very often). If you insist on implementing it yourself as a scripting exercise then: 1. Add an uppercase-only string and a digits-only string on top of the LORD one you already have 2. Split the loop to three - one which picks a first letter from the uppercase-only string, one which picks 5 characters from LORD and one which picks 2 characters from the digits-only string. The way you have it now there is no way to guarantee that the first character will be an upper-case letter or that the last two will be digits. --Amos -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
