I have recently heard rumors of an md5 library for Crack. I have a small number of users on my system (20'ish) and all are ...well...users in the sense that I give them an initial passwd to get to their accounts and they ask me if I can just set it to their userid so they can remember it. I have told them how to change their passwds but I am suspicious that they are using insecure passwds. I haven't implemented cracklib but I am warey that if there is an md5 plug-in for crack, the shadow passwd system is only a minimal defense (unshadow.c). If anyone knows where to find a doc or a package I would be very interested in hearing about it. Thanks, -jamie reid
