JDK for Red Hat 5.0

1998-03-26 Thread Jos Vos
Hi, Does there exist a _working_ JDK (some version, at least) for RH 5.0? I tried the jdk-1.1.5-5.i386.rpm from contrib/hurricane/i386, but after patching the .java_wrapper script because it complained about wrong paths (how could this ever work for someone?) I now end up with /usr/bin/jdk-1.1

Random Password Generation script

What would be wrong with using the mkpasswd program that comes with RH5.0? It looks to me like you could write a small script to have it run x amount of times, and spit out a random passwd. You also have complete control of the length, and number of upper,lower,special,and numeric characters in
