NAME
crack_testlib, crack_testnum, crack_teststr - cracklib test utilities
SYNOPSIS
crack_testlib
crack_testnum
crack_teststr
DESCRIPTION
crack_testlib
tests if the input string will be accepted as a valid password by the
installed cracklib dictionary using the
FascistCheck(3)
subroutine.
crack_testnum
tests if the input integer is an index to a word in the installed
cracklib dictionary and returns the word if found.
crack_teststr
tests if the input string is in the installed cracklib dictionary and
returns its index number if found.
The database is in a binary format generated by the utilities
crack_mkdict(8)
and
crack_packer(8).
On a Debian system the database is located in the directory
/var/cache/cracklib/cracklib_dict and is generated daily with the program
update-cracklib
(8), which is called from the cron job
/etc/cron.daily/cracklib
\. The location is also defined in the header file
crack.h
using the constant
CRACKLIB_DICTPATH
though none of the subroutines in the cracklib libraries have this
location hardcoded into their implementations.
Each take one string or number per line. Enter ^C when done.
