A question and a request.

Does anyone use Larry Wall's Perl passwd replacement?  (Besides Larry,
that is.)

If you do, could you send me copies of your "badpats" and "badwords"
files?  I'm trying to build up a useful exclusion list for our users,
and am not above avoiding wheel-reinvention.

[In case you haven't guessed, we use it here, under ULTRIX 4.2A, with the
 ENHANCED security option.  We've "modified" the original perl passwd
 a bit, _and_ have added a "crypt16" function to perl, due to DEC silliness.
 Yes, we couldn't resist "hacking" perl. :-) ]

Thanks much.
