Hi,
cracklib-check - examines the quality of passwords

$ echo "linux123" | cracklib-check

linux123: it is based on a dictionary word

$ echo "123" | cracklib-check

123: it is WAY too short

$ echo "ilugc12345" | cracklib-check

ilugc12345: it is too simplistic/systematic

$ echo "iLove@LinuX" | cracklib-check

iLove@LinuX: OK


regards,

T.Dhanasekar
