In addition to the callpass utility installed with Xastir, there are a handul of online versions that can be used also. Helpful if you don't have an Xastir install handy, or for those unfamiliar with the Linux command line.
I'm not sure of the exact algorithm at the moment, but the callpass length is some function of the callsign length and not always 5 digits. For instance my callpass is only 3 digits based off my 2x1 callsign.
