samba - Sep 2003 - weak password checking for samba 3 ?

I've got a problem with some idiots of my users :=).

They always use weak passwords. Does anyone know
a way to find out which passwords are easy to crack?
I mean usual passwords like god, sex, password, $username, ....

I use tdb as password database.

thank you,

livius

Don't we all.

You can use John the Ripper (free) or (and I hesitate to mention
this, because of @stake's recent horrible behavior) LC4
(formerly L0phtcrack) which costs money.  (I think l0phtcrack
used to be free, if I'm not mistaken.)

Why you should cease business with @stake:

There are other password cracking programs.  They're just a google 
search away.  Are you scared yet?
