Description-en: pro-active password checker library
Shared library for cracklib2 which contains a C function which may be
used in a passwd like program. The idea is simple: try to prevent
users from choosing passwords that could be guessed by crack by
filtering them out, at source. cracklib2 is NOT a replacement passwd
program. cracklib2 is a LIBRARY.
