I never knew that fP issued passwords?  How?

I know you're not running SCO's OSR, but it will generate passwords if
you wish. Like so:

	Choose password

You can choose whether you pick a password,
or have the system create one for you.

	1. Pick a password
	2. Pronounceable password will be generated for you

Enter choice (default is 1): 2

	Generating random pronounceable password for appl.
	The password, along with a hyphenated version, is shown.
	Press <Return> until you like the choice.
	When you have chosen the password you want, type it in.
	Note: type your interrupt character or `quit' to abort at any time.
