    Summary: A password-checking library.
    Description: 
    CrackLib tests passwords to determine whether they match certain
    security-oriented characteristics. You can use CrackLib to stop
    users from choosing passwords which would be easy to guess. CrackLib
    performs certain tests:
    
    * It tries to generate words from a username and gecos entry and
      checks those words against the password;
    * It checks for simplistic patterns in passwords;
    * It checks for the password in a dictionary.
    
    CrackLib is actually a library containing a particular
    C function which is used to check the password, as well as
    other C functions. CrackLib is not a replacement for a passwd
    program; it must be used in conjunction with an existing passwd
    program.
    
    Install the cracklib package if you need a program to check users'
    passwords to see if they are at least minimally secure. If you
    install CrackLib, you'll also want to install the cracklib-words
    package.
