This is a password checking program that I wrote after the infamous Internet
worm.  I used the password cracking algorithim the worm used in order
to check the obviousness of a password.

The routine checkpasswd.c does this.  Read the source for the routine
for details of how it works.  In this package are the following:

README		This file
Makefile	Q.E.D.
checkpasswd.c	Password check routine
checkpasswd.h	Include for checkpasswd calling
driver.c	Test program
makedict.c	Program to build dbm dictionary
wormwords	The infamous worm password list
viewdict.c	Program to view dbm dictionary

I hope this can be a kernel of intelligent password checking for 4BSD systems.

I am working on a replacement for the BSD passwd program, which should be
available soon.
