several years ago i wrote a program in C called mkpw that used only one optional argument: the length of the password to make and output (to stdout), with a growing default which today is 18 (i want to expand it to 20, now). it makes the password from a random mix of lower case letters, upper case letter, decimal digits, and a few special characters. i would like to add some significant options to this program like:
1. specific the minimum and maybe maximum number of characters for each character class.
2. specify characters to be removed from and/or added to each character class.
3. make new character classes with specific rules.
4. allow defaults to be readable from files in system space and/or user space.
more to be determined later.
since this would involve significant recoding and i am now days writing most things in python (usually version 3), this is likely to be a near next program i "re"code in python for python 3.
does anyone else have an interest in this? would you like to see if your can make a better version than i?
