Description Spooky Ghost 2005-04-14 05:55:53 UTC 
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

(Details found in Kerberos - The Definitive Guide, Jason Garman, O'Reilly, pp 112)
