cracklib is a library which makes judgements on passwords. It tells you
passwords weak as they are too short, based on a dictionary word, and
stuff like that. It's a nice thing to have, is fairly standard, but is
not a true requirement.
Any thoughts on these changes:
1. Promote cracklib USE flag to global USE
2. Enable USE=cracklib by default in profiles/default-linux/make.defaults
3. Add cracklib USE flag to sys-apps/shadow. Right now shadow
unconditionally depends on cracklib and includes cracklib support.
4. Remove cracklib from base/packages
Thanks,
Daniel
