  14. Can someone point me to some code for a configurable, stringent passwd
  15. program?  I'd like something that checks (at least) for permutations of
  16. the login name, common words, short length, repetitive sequences, etc.
  17.  
  18. I'm running SunOS 4.1.1 on an SparcStation IPC.  The existing passwd
  19. supports password aging but not shadow passwords.

  21. Thanks!
