The patch adds random password capability to the relevant samba-tool user subcommands

While the kadmin interface of the Heimdal KDC does support setting random passwords for principals, the samba-tool (which tries somehow to resemble it) doesn't.

The patch adds random password capability to the relevant samba-tool user subcommands

Directly import generate_random_password from samba, instead of fiddling whit its internals

Comment 7 Matthias Dieter Wallnöfer 2011-11-07 17:00:35 UTC 
I've managed to fix your patch with an errata (there was a small error regarding parameter handling). Both are currently tested in autobuild and should soon appear in "master".
