I had obtained some code from someone a number of years ago that generated
8 letter random pronouncable gibberish passwords. I use a subset of this
code in our users initial passwords {and then they teach them in the
beginning users class that they can use the passwd command to change their
password to something easier to remember :-( }

Perhaps if he reads this he may want to make a posting?
