RE : how to generate passwords?

["Jean-Rene Cormier" <jrclist@cipanb.ca>]

Well here is the script I made, don't laugh I'm not a good programmer
and I just made that in like a few minutes. I don't think it's secure or
anything like that but at least it works and that's what I needed for
now.

Thanks to all who helped me.

$ds=ldap_connect("localhost");

if ($ds) {

if ($newpass1 == $newpass2) {
if ($newpass1 != $null) {

You may also take a look at the mkntpass program. I think it's fairly 
easy to find if you read any of the samba-tng w/ldap howtos.

PS: I would apreciate if the finished phpscript would be made available 
to me (and the general public).
