Hi, I haven't heard from anyone, so I guess that may mean no one knows, but I thought I'd ask again just to be sure. Does anyone know if there is a simple way to make the pam_cracklib module weaker -- for example, allow palindromes -- without editing the cracklib code and re-compiling the libcrack library? Thanks!
