A new contrib has been released that can be used to generate strong random passwords of any given length. The tool is called 'randpw'.
It can be used to generate strong random passwords from the console or from any language that can execute shell commands. Generated passwords can be shown on the console, stored to file, stored as shell variable and as a SME Server db key (and properties).
It's fast and generates STRONG passwords of any length between 1 and nnnnn...
