[Bug runtime/9702] New: stap-gen-server-cert doesn't work on Debian

[eugen at debian dot org]

It uses "mkpasswd -l", but on Debian mkpasswd does not accept -l option and has
no way to generate passwords (it can only encrypt them). The best way to
generate random password that I found (i didn't look too hard) is:

   apg -a 1 -n 1 -m 20 -x 20

This will generate random password with 20 symbols.

There is also makepasswd, but it uses perl's rand function, that is probably not
very secure. Also it only uses digits and letters for making passwords.
