- You can adapt this module to your needs by changing the source code.
27
- For example, you can use
28
- <ulink url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/cracklib/">CrackLib</ulink>
29
- to check passwords — this only requires uncommenting
30
- two lines in the <filename>Makefile</filename> and rebuilding the
31
- module. (We cannot include <productname>CrackLib</productname>
32
- by default for license reasons.)
33
- Without <productname>CrackLib</productname>, the module enforces a few
34
- simple rules for password strength, which you can modify or extend
35
- as you see fit.
