/* A good password:
1) should contain at least six characters (man passwd);
2) empty passwords are not permitted;
3) should contain a mix of four different types of characters
upper case letters,
lower case letters,
numbers,
special characters such as !@#$%^&*,;".
This password types should not be permitted:
a) pure numbers: birthdates, social security number, license plate, phone numbers;
b) words and all letters only passwords (uppercase, lowercase or mixed)
as palindromes, consecutive or repetitive letters
or adjacent letters on your keyboard;
c) username, real name, company name or (e-mail?) address
in any form (as-is, reversed, capitalized, doubled, etc.).
(we can check only against username, gecos and hostname)
d) common and obvious letter-number replacements
(e.g. replace the letter O with number 0)
such as "M1cr0$0ft" or "P@ssw0rd" (CAVEAT: we cannot check for them
without the use of a dictionary).
For each missing type of characters an increase of password length is
requested.
If user is root we warn only.
CAVEAT: some older versions of crypt() truncates passwords to 8 chars,
so that aaaaaaaa1Q$ is equal to aaaaaaaa making it possible to fool
some of our checks. We don't test for this special case as newer versions
of crypt do not truncate passwords.
