.SH NAME
crack_testlib, crack_testnum, crack_teststr \- cracklib test utilities
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B crack_testlib
.B crack_testnum
.B crack_teststr
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B crack_testlib
tests if the input string will be accepted as a valid password by the
installed cracklib dictionary using the
.BR FascistCheck (3)
subroutine.
.B crack_testnum
tests if the input integer is an index to a word in the installed
cracklib dictionary and returns the word if found.
.B crack_teststr
tests if the input string is in the installed cracklib dictionary and
returns its index number if found.
The database is in a binary format generated by the utilities
.BR crack_mkdict (8)
and
.BR crack_packer (8).
On a Debian system the database is located in the directory
/var/cache/cracklib/cracklib_dict and is generated daily with the program
.B update-cracklib
(8), which is called from the cron job
.B /etc/cron.daily/cracklib
\. The location is also defined in the header file
.B crack.h
using the constant
.B CRACKLIB_DICTPATH
though none of the subroutines in the cracklib libraries have this
location hardcoded into their implementations.
Each take one string or number per line. Enter ^C when done.
