Greetings,

I have wrote a program that will check the password file for commonly tried
passwords by hackers. I am offering the source to System administers. Due to
the fact that this program will report the users of these passwords I will
only mail it to a user id of root. Currently it has about 20 or so passwords
in its table. I am open to add more passwords. If you have a password that
you believe users will use often please let me know.


This is a first in a series of unix programs to provide a more secure unix
system.
