I've modified db_edit slightly so that it can generate random passwords
for principals on demand.  To get a random password, type "RANDOM"
(twice, unfortunately) in response to the request for new password.
You'll be asked to verify that you want a random password: if you
don't respond 'y' or 'Y', you'll get "RANDOM" as the literal password.

Random passwords are of little use for people, but are of use for
services.
