Hi Gang,
I'm looking for a password-verification routine that not only gets a user's password,
but it also uses cracklib to check and rate the quality of the password the user
entered. It would be nice if the code also included a rate-password bar, growing
in size as the password gets better and better. I've searched the web and
haven't run across this code yet, although I might have to be more specific
with the search criteria. Perferably, I'd like to do all of this in PHP and Javascript.
Should this search come up blank here and on the web, I guess I'm going to
have to write the code myself. If I do so, I'll ask management if I can open-source
the code so you guys won't have to go through all this and to give back to
the community.
TIA!
Randall

Thanks for the reply, zolw. I'll give it a look and see what gives.
I found one solution in php on Source Forge, but it uses the
GNU m4 program for config, and I'm not familiar with prog
enough to install the thing. I tried "m4 config.m4", but m4
barfed on it. Guess I have to RTFM or something  .
OTOH, we've found some javascript solutions that use
nothing but javascript to determine if the password is
good enough, but I'm very, very leery of using that code.
It isn't cracklib by a long shot!
Regards,
Randall
