Probably not, but I'll maintain it as a patch until it is. There are no configuration options, aside from 'use cracklib'.

So the feature will be removed before the final 3.0.3 release. The plan is to replace it with a scripted interface. abartlet has taken ownership of this. So I do not know if he will be done in time for 3.0.3. cheers, jerry -- Hewlett-Packard- http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team -- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc "...a hundred billion castaways looking for a home." --- Sting -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Samba/Cracklib Documentation?
I'm testing Samba 3.0.3pre2 and am particularly interested in the new --with-cracklib support. I see the configuration directive to enable cracklib functionality in the changelog, but am curious if anyone has any additional documentation. The man pages, etc... appear not to be updated yet. Is there any mechanism for 'tweaking' the password strenth rules, as there is with pam_cracklib? If not does anyone have a URL, etc..., on what cracklib actually checks/requires? The only documentation I've been able to find on cracklib is pretty much the original 1997 Usenet post; which isn't terribly precise. I'd like to explain to my test users the kind of criteria their new passwords have to meet. Adam Tauno Williams Network & Systems Administrator Morrison Industries Grand Rapids, Mi.
