Cisco Cisco MediaSense Release 9.1(1) Licensing Information

you must have enough free space available for use by the "sort" command,

when the dictionary is built.

 

So: If you do not have (say) about 20Mb free in /usr/tmp (or whatever

temporary area your "sort" command uses), have a look at the

"util/mkdict" script.

 

You can usually tweak the "sort" command to use any large area of disk

you desire, by use of the "-T" option, and "mkdict" has a hook for this.

 

 

STEP 4) Wire a call to "FascistCheck()" into your "passwd" program

 

 

- Left as an exercise for the reader.

 

 

*** Example of how to invoke CrackLib

 

Insert a call to the routine FascistCheck, which is defined thusly:
