Subject: pwqgen not functioning as expected
I would like to use pwqgen to generate a 10 character password that has at
least one upper case letter, at least one lower case letter, at least one
digit, and at least one special character.
I am running pwqgen using the following:
./pwqgen config=../../etc/passwdqc.conf
passwdqc.conf is as follows
==========================================
min=disabled,disabled,disabled,disabled,10
max=10
passphrase=0
match=3
similar=deny
random=47
enforce=everyone
retry=3
It is believed these settings should create a 10 character password
(min/max =10) that must contain all 4 character classes, and no substring
of <= 3 can match a dictionary word.
Unfortunately, with these settings the following error is returned.
pwqgen: Failed to generate a passphrase.
This could happen for a number of reasons: you could have requested
an impossible passphrase length, or the access to kernel random number
pool could have failed.
If max is raised to 20 then a password such as, Canopy2Beware3swap, is
generated. Of course this password does not even contain all character
classes (no special character).
Is there a way to use pwqgen in such a way that a 10-character password
can be generated using the criteria stated earlier?
