Hello,

Excuse me my ignorance. Is there a utility in FreeBSD that would allow 
me to generate random passwords without actually creating any accounts 
or modifying existing ones? I am looking for something to allow me to 
generate a random string of characters. I know I can randomly hit the 
keyboard but if anything like that exists, many thanks for your advice. :)

Best regards,
