auto-generate password

[Anon]

Hi,

I have a mySQL database and I need to auto-generate 400 or so alpha numeric passwords that are 6 characters long.

How should I do this?

Thanks.

I'm using a random password generator that uses words from the linux aspell dictionary. I looked for it on the web just now but can't remember where I got it. But I did find this function that looks like it does what you want (with some minor modification).
