This is a stretch. To the best of my knowledge, all the CrackLib library does is check that the password a user enters during the password changing routine does not match something in the user's entry in /etc/passwd and the password dictionary. Nothing more, nothing less. There is no such thing as "the password policies cracklib likes". Oh, and it compiles perfectly. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 19:08:00 up 124 days, 18:41, 2 users, load average: 1.17, 0.94, 0.55 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
