Why keep them from setting their passwords to "password" if that's what
they want to do?
They still can. :-)
However, should LFS install the mechanism to provide such an absolutely
poor security model?
I don't think so. And I can't imagine anyone else thinking so also,
unless they simply just want to disagree with the suggestion.
Installing CrackLib in LFS just makes more sense to me now than when
I came up with the idea 8 hours ago. There so far has not been one
technical reason why we shouldn't do it.
That's right, I don't have a technical reason against it. I just have a
problem in general with forcing someone to do something (like pick a
"strong") password "for their own good". Same reason why I don't think
seatbelt laws should exist...
