Is this script meant only for fun and just checking if the provided password matches the criteria or is it also passing the "strong" password to passwd command and a password change is done? If it's latter, please post your code, because I'm very curious

count=$(echo $pass | sed 's/[^0-9]//g')
echo $count | grep -o '[0-9]' >/dev/null
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
echo "EPIC FAIL! Password has not even one digit!"
exit
fi
count=$(printf $count | wc -c)
if [ $count -lt 2 ]; then
echo "FAIL! Need at least 2 digits!"
exit
else
echo "PASS! I could find at least 2 digits."
exit
fi
Uncomment the two lines above, if you want the password *not* to be echoed (Recommended).

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this or not but we use a program called "Password Safe" to store the many root passwords we have for our Unix system.
Now we are being called out by our security team to prove that this is a safe program to use. So far I have been able to determine... (1 Reply)

Hi Guys,
I hope one of you has already done this and is kind enough to share your script with me.

Hi there,
There's something I don't understand. The same string does not give the same md5 hash everytime. I wanted to find a way to check someone's password but the following script obviously shows that it's not possible that way :

ks354286:~# pw=$(mkpasswd -H md5... (3 Replies)
I need to periodically run a check on the passwords of the users (Redhat 5.0) to verify that all passwords meet minimal standards.

html::formhandler::field::password
HTML::FormHandler::Field::Password(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation HTML::FormHandler::Field::Password(3pm)NAME
HTML::FormHandler::Field::Password - password field
VERSION
version 0.40013
DESCRIPTION
The password field has a default minimum length of 6, which can be easily changed:
has_field 'password' => ( type => 'Password', minlength => 7 );
It does not come with additional default checks, since password requirements vary so widely. There are a few constraints in the
HTML::FormHandler::Types modules which could be used with this field: NoSpaces, WordChars, NotAllDigits. These constraints can be used in
the field definitions 'apply':
use HTML::FormHandler::Types ('NoSpaces', 'WordChars', 'NotAllDigits' );
...
has_field 'password' => ( type => 'Password',
apply => [ NoSpaces, WordChars, NotAllDigits ],
);
You can add your own constraints in addition, of course.
If a password field is not required, then the field will be marked 'noupdate', to prevent a null from being saved into the database.
ne_username
Set this attribute to the name of your username field (default 'username') if you want to check that the password is not the same as the
username. Does not check by default.
