Hi,
This here's a patch for John F Haugh's "shadow" password program, to get
it using "CrackLib". I'm afraid I haven't had much opportunity to test
it (I don't have the time or resources), but I'd like to know how you
get on using it.
Instructions:
1) Read the docs. Build and install CrackLib.
2) Install the latest version of "shadow" (patchlevel 6)
- available from comp.sources.misc archives everywhere.
It's spattered amongst several directories (being a initial
distribution, + patches), so you'll need the contents of:
usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume26/shadow
usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume28/shadow
usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume29/shadow
usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume30/shadow
usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume32/shadow
3) Install the enclosed file as "obscure.c" - it's only a
trivial change, you might like to hack it a bit yourself.
4) Edit the new "obscure.c" to change the value of:
CRACKLIB_DICTPATH
- to whatever you used during the CrackLib installation
5) Change the "shadow" Makefile to that shadow will be linked
with CrackLib, eg:
change:
LIBS = -lcrypt -lndbm
to:
LIBS = /where/ever/cracklib/cracklib.a -lcrypt -lndbm
6) Build and install "shadow"
7) Make sure you have obscure checks enabled
8) Run with it.
