Generate a random filename in unix shell

Question

I would like to generate a random filename in unix shell (say tcshell). The filename should consist of random 32 hex letters, e.g.:

c7fdfc8f409c548a10a0a89a7

Yet another way[tm].

R=$(echo $RANDOM $RANDOM $RANDOM $RANDOM $RANDOM | md5 | cut -c -8)
FILENAME="abcdef-$R"
