Heimdal has a function for using cracklib to check the password quality, this
does not seem to be installed by default.  Source is in lib/kadm5, can build
shared object with the command line:

gcc -fPIC -shared -o sample_passwd_check.so sample_passwd_check.c -lcrack

and enabled with the following in krb5.conf

[password_quality]
  check_library = /path/to/sample_passwd_check.so
  check_function = check_cracklib
