Hi,
I've spent an hour today making gnome-control-center use libpwquality
for its password quality checking:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676396
It worked fine in general, just a few observations:
- the library would be a little easier to integrate if it installed a
pc file (see the attached patch)
- I've never managed to see any of the pwquality messages, because the
cracklib check always triggers first and gives a 'The password fails
the dictionary check'
- It would be nice to give some guidance how the range [0-100] is to
be interpreted - is everything below 30 considered weak ? everything
about 50 strong ? That would help ensuring uniform representation of
the quality
