+/* 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.
