Hallo, in "/usr/doc/samba-3.2.13/examples/auth/crackcheck" (and surely other samba versions) I find a C program for checking the qualitiy of a password. The authors may be Andrew Bartlett (2001) and Jelmer Vernooij (2003). The routine asks for a password dictionary. Who knows what format is needed for this dictionary? Can I use dictionaries from similar password checkers? Viele Gruesse! Helmut
