    There's a pam_cracklib module floating around somewhere that you can
    install to enforce strong password security. There are also other
    similar implementations (I'm pretty sure at least one is in ports, but
    I couldn't find it with 5 seconds of searching). PAM is definitely
    the way to go since you won't need to make any code changes or
    recompile anything.
