Pwgen is a small, powerful, GPL'ed password generator.

This   version   of   pwgen    was    written    by    Theodore    Ts'o
<tytso@alum.mit.edu>. It is modelled after a program originally written
by Brandon S. Allbery, and then later extensively modified by Olaf Titz,
Jim Lynch, and others. It was  rewritten  from scratch by Theodore Ts'o
because  the original program  was somewhat of a hack, and thus hard to
maintain, and because the licensing status of the program was unclear.

Replace pwgen 1 with pwgen 2. The latter is a continuation of the former by a different author, with some serious bugs fixed. We were pretty much the only OS that still shipped pwgen 1, and for good reason: due to the way it implements phoneme equivalence and the way it tracks the length of the generated string, it only works correctly 16% of the time. This was not possible to fix without a major rewrite, which is precisely what the author of pwgen 2 did. Discussed with both maintainers and #bsdports. 2012-06-07 12:49:12 +02:00			`Pwgen is a small, powerful, GPL'ed password generator.`
