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. 49 50 51 - alec (16 Jun 1993) 52
