If so please point me to it. >What exactly do you expect from them? (Sorry for my ignorance, i >simply don't know npasswd.) I got npasswd from the author. It needs to be ported to FreeBSD, which I am working on. npasswd is a nice little password "checking" program that takes a user's potential password and tried to crack it while interfaced with the user. It also can be configured to allow for passwords that are longer than 8 characters. npasswd is also being updated. 1.2.4 has been out for years. 2.0 should be here soon. ;) Josh Pincus >-- >cheers, J"org >joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE >Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) -- /* -- DER UBERMENSCH!! */
