in Fedora 28 I used the command `mkpasswd` [1] to generate passwords according to different criteria. Now in Fedora 30 this command asks for a password to encrypt for /etc/passwd usage. Any ideas how do I get back the old `mkpasswd`? [1] https://linux.die.net/man/1/mkpasswd
Maybe mkpasswd now comes from something else. IIRC mkpasswd came from the expect package.
But, yeah, if that doesn't sort it, use another tool. Ben suggested pwgen, and I've got a script of my own called "mkpw" which generates a 16 character random hex string.
