Isreal-
Take a look at /etc/pam.d/system-auth in particular, the password entry
involving pam_cracklib
password requisite /lib/security/$ISA/pam_cracklib.so retry=3
The docs for this pam module may be found in
/usr/share/doc/pam-0.77/txts/README.pam_cracklib
It also looks like there is a pam module called pam_passwdqc with docs
located in /usr/share/doc/pam_passwdqc-0.7.5 which from a quick glance
wlll do strength checking.
Hope this helps,
Sean
