Nice work, but do we really need that strong passwords? IMHO the passwords generated by portage should be changed right after emerging the piece of software anyway, although that might not be reality in many cases :( I didn't have a closer look to the packages you listed, but i hope those don't need a password for a unix account. Probably (just guessing) they save the password in plain text anyway, so it wouldn't matter that much... Perhaps I'm just totally wrong. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
