The system must prevent the use of dictionary words for passwords.
Description
Discussion Text
An easily guessable password provides an open door to any external or internal malicious intruder. Many computer compromises occur as the result of account name and password guessing. This is generally done by someone with an automated script using repeated logon attempts until the correct account and password pair is guessed. Utilities, such as cracklib, can be used to validate that passwords are not dictionary words and meet other criteria during password changes.
