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.

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.
