    Have a question about the options 'passwd' gives a user:

       1 Pronounceable passwords generated for you
       2 A string of characters generated for you
       3 A string of letters generated for you
       4 To pick your password

    - Is it possible to have one of the options as the default (ie, never show
    this prompt, always do one of the 4 we set)
    - If so, is it possible to change how one of the options generate a
    password.

    What im looking to do is have the passwd program always generate a password
    of at least 8 characters containing letters & numbers.
