-From the author (Michael Shields <shields@tembel.org>):
-
-ppgen generates passphrases using strings of words, long enough to have
-an arbitrary level of entropy. It can use any dictionary and the best
-available source of randomness, including PGP's cryptographic RNG if you
-have version 2.6.2. It is written in portable C, and it is fairly fast.
-
-You can use ppgen to generate passphrases whenever you have a program that
-accepts long passwords. I use it for Kerberos and for local passwords
-(I use the FreeBSD MD5-based crypt(3), not the standard limited Unix one),
-and for my PGP keyring.
-
-Because ppgen is so simple, it can also easily be used by passwd(1)
-or adduser(1) programs to choose passwords for users.
