An even better method of getting a random (ascii) password: $ head /dev/urandom | strings -n 5 | sed 'N;s/$//;s/\n//g;s/\n//g' | sed 'N;s/$//;s/\n//g' | head -n 1 (All on one line, naturally). I had to do the two seds to make it work properly. It would have been nicer if this combined all of the lines, and then I could just trim as many chars as I wanted, but this was tricky. The head -n 1 discards any lines other than the first.
