I don't know if this has been asked already, but...

Does anyone know of the existance of password "checking"
software for kerberos.

We are using kerberos for authentication of diallin modem users
and would like to be able to check that users are choosing "secure"
passwords.

What I had in mind was something like "crack".

If there is no such utility - how do others check that passwords are
at least not simple words out of a dictionary, or something similar!

Rex.
