-> I remember there was some talk that the new version of crack would
-> contain a cracklib that could be easily integrated into other programs.
-> Does anyone know more about this?
I have used cracklib in a homegrown yppasswdd replacement we use here. It
works very well and has helped this department enforce stricter choice of
passwords.
cracklib is very worthwhile IMHO
