Does anyone know if it's possible to access the SCO UNIX password
generator from outside the 'passwd' command?

(The generator outputs a pronounceable, but non-real word for 
more password security.)

I'm trying to put together a program for one of my clients which 
will create new users accounts, but automatically assign a generated
password. My intention is to use addxusers to create the account 
and then set the password with the generator output using the
passwd command and 'except', or something like that. 

Thanks.
