This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Andrew McCall <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: lgpl
Other License:
Package: Passcheck - A password sanity tool
System name: passcheck
Type: GNU
Description:
Pass check is a password sanity checker, designed
to be used as a tool by the various password
changing programs.
This is a drop in replacement or rewrite of the
original cracklib, and shares no code with the
original(note: as they do the same thing,
there are a few similar algorithms).
The intent of this rewrite is to:
1. to provide an updated version of the somewhat difficult
to find cracklib
2. to allow DIY\'ers a ready to use cracklib
3. to make an even more thourough and accurate cracklib
4. to provide a LGPL\'d free software implementation, versus the
questionable (Original) Artistic license(listed as non-free at gnu.org)
Unlike the original cracklib, this library uses the standard
system dictionary, and requires no further special files.
Current Source Code:
http://www.textux.com/passcheck/
Other Software Required:
* C compiler
* standard wordlist dictionary(usually placed in /usr/share/dict/words)
* considering adding zlib for compressed dictionary support
