[plug] Enforcing password rules

[Jason Belcher]

List,

I'm writing some web-based scripts at the moment that will enable students
to change their user account passwords. I'm wanting to enforce password
rules (ie. minimum number of characters, not a dictionary word etc...) and
I was wondering if anyone knows of a good command-line tool, (or PHP code)
that can be used to check passwords against a list of rules, or will I
have to write it from scratch?

Thanks in advance
