Hi, all-- Sorry I forgot to include a location for the script. It's at http://iatrogenic.cx/easypass.html. You can set several parameters, including length of words, number of digits and special characters, etc. -- it's pretty obvious from looking at the script. I wrote a short script that calls easypass.pl and sets its parameters, then displays the results on a web page. If anyone's interested, let me know and I'll post or send it. Glad to have been some help. --Bill. Bill Wheeler Systems Programmer and Administrator Michigan State University Libraries E-mail: [log in to unmask] Phone: (517)432-6123 x 234
