1Hi,
2
3This here's a patch for John F Haugh's "shadow" password program, to get
4it using "CrackLib".  I'm afraid I haven't had much opportunity to test
5it (I don't have the time or resources), but I'd like to know how you
6get on using it.
7
8Instructions:
9
10    1) Read the docs. Build and install CrackLib.
11
12    2) Install the latest version of "shadow" (patchlevel 6)
13     - available from comp.sources.misc archives everywhere.
14
15    It's spattered amongst several directories (being a initial
16    distribution, + patches), so you'll need the contents of:
17
18	usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume26/shadow
19	usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume28/shadow
20	usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume29/shadow
21	usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume30/shadow
22	usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume32/shadow
23
24    3) Install the enclosed file as "obscure.c" - it's only a
25       trivial change, you might like to hack it a bit yourself.
26
27    4) Edit the new "obscure.c" to change the value of:
28
29	CRACKLIB_DICTPATH
30
31       - to whatever you used during the CrackLib installation
32
33    5) Change the "shadow" Makefile to that shadow will be linked
34       with CrackLib, eg:
35
36    change:
37
38	LIBS = -lcrypt -lndbm
39
40    to:
41
42	LIBS = /where/ever/cracklib/cracklib.a -lcrypt -lndbm
43
44    6) Build and install "shadow"
45
46    7) Make sure you have obscure checks enabled
47
48    8) Run with it.
