Great! We'll be rotating and adding moderators more often than in the past to give more people who are strong forum contributors time in the spotlight.

I greatly appreciate the excellent work the moderators are doing. Please remember to lead by example by keeping the technical quality of your answers high (and chatter to a minimum). If we fill the database with lots of (useless) banter, searches will be slower and the signal to noise ratio with decrease.

We don't want to become another slashdot.org .... they have that honor Smilie We want to be known for technical quality and a professional atmosphere.

NAME
pwscore - simple configurable tool for checking quality of a password SYNOPSIS
pwscore [user] DESCRIPTION
pwscore is a simple tool for checking quality of a password. The password is read from stdin. The tool uses the libpwquality library to perform configurable checks for minimum length, dictionary checking against cracklib dictionar- ies, and other checks. It either reports an error if the password fails any of the checks, or it prints out the password quality score as an integer value between 0 and 100. The password quality score is relative to the minlen setting in the configuration file. But in general values below 50 can be treated as moderate quality and above it fairly strong quality. Any password that passes the quality checks (especially the mandatory cracklib check) should withstand dictionary attacks and scores above 50 with the default minlen setting even fast brute force attacks. OPTIONS
The first and only optional argument is the user name that is used to check the similarity of the password to the username. FILES
/etc/security/pwquality.conf - The configuration file for the libpwquality library. RETURN CODES
pwscore returns 0 on success, non zero on error. SEE ALSO
