Hi,
Just for my Python learning experience, I'm going to write one. I'll send it to
the list when I code it up and test it. This should be fun.

Here's my random password generating function have made use of on a couple of
sites - PHP:
function randomString($iLen) {
$arAlpha = str_split("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz");
$arNumeric = str_split("1234567890");
$sOut = "";
for ($I = 0; $I < $iLen; $I++) {
if (rand(0, 1) == 0) {
if (rand(0, 1) == 0) {
$sOut .= $arAlpha[array_rand($arAlpha)];
} else {
$sOut .= strtoupper($arAlpha[array_rand($arAlpha)]);
}
} else {
$sOut .= $arNumeric[array_rand($arNumeric)];
}
}//end of looping
return $sOut;
}//end of randomString function
It randomly chooses between lowercase, uppercase and numeric characters to be
included in a string the length of which you ask it to return.
Stay well

Subject: [program-l] PW Generators
Hi,
I need to generate a hard to guess pw that doesn't need to be perfect, just
difficult to guess as a one time pw on a site that someone can change the first
time they log on. The Drupal site I administer wants me to type it into a pw
edit field, so I was hoping to just find something that could generate a text
string that I can paste. Is there such a thing?
Thanks.
Jim
