I came up with cracklib-check too. It too uses FascistCheck like pam_cracklib
but none of the elements that are configurable for pam_cracklib are setable
for cracklib-check.  I have obtained the source for pam_cracklib so I will see
if I can create something on my own to yield what I wish. Sometime. Maybe. If
I live long enough.
