cracklib is a library which makes judgements on passwords. It tells you |
| 2 |
passwords weak as they are too short, based on a dictionary word, and |
| 3 |
stuff like that. It's a nice thing to have, is fairly standard, but is |
| 4 |
not a true requirement. |

Any thoughts on these changes: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
1. Promote cracklib USE flag to global USE |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
2. Enable USE=cracklib by default in profiles/default-linux/make.defaults |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
3. Add cracklib USE flag to sys-apps/shadow. Right now shadow |
| 13 |
unconditionally depends on cracklib and includes cracklib support. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
4. Remove cracklib from base/packages |
