libpam-cracklib is nice, but how do i get PAM to enforce at least one
upper case letter, and at least on of {symbol,digit}?also, are there any PAM programmer cracks here? i have a program here [1] that registers with PAM as the passwd service, but since it runs as root, it ignore libpam-cracklib. i wouldn't mind adding that support, but i am a PAM-newbie and don't know how to obtain the message that the e.g. passwd binary gives when a password failed cracklib: New UNIX password: BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word running passwd as root causes the warning to be displayed, but PAM still succeeds (obviously). i want it to fail even for root, or i want at least access to that message. and the passwd sources are really confusing... 1. http://ceti.pl/~kravietz/progs/poppassd-1.8-ceti.tar.gz -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; net@madduck fashions have done more harm than revolutions. -- victor hugo
