Hi all,
Well, I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the debate about adding CrackLib
to LFS. There was a bunch of ideas thrown around. It seemed healthy for
the list.
Yep, I enjoyed it too. I was supposed to post my summary over the
weekend, but Real Life got in the way as it seems to have a habit of
doing just lately.
In the Shadow instructions, a little note at the beginning of the
package instructions saying that if you would like the system
configured to support strong passwords, install CrackLib and add
--with-libcrack to the configure script.
That's what I was going to advocate doing, I think it was Justin that
originally suggested it. I now see that Archaic went ahead and made the
necessary changes, with a bit of tweaking from Manuel. Good work guys,
thanks to everyone for their input!
Regards,
Matt.
