Hello,
I would like to implement a mechanism in which VERY poor and weak
passwords are checked when the user try to change it with passwd command.
Is there any application allowing this in the ports collection ?
I am not talking about using Crack, but just checking for minimal password
security on users password change, when the user invoke the
"passwd" command.

thanks

Rick
