Description-en: PAM module to check password strength

quality checking and also scoring them based on their apparent randomness. The
library also provides a function for generating random passwords with good
pronounceability.
.
This module can be plugged into the password stack of a given service to
provide some plug-in strength-checking for passwords. The code was originaly
based on pam_cracklib module and the module is backwards compatible with its
options.
