I think it > would be very useful ... There's an excellent passwd replacement written in PERL that's part of chapter 6 of "Programming Perl". It does bad words, pattern matching, checking against reversed logins, other people's logins, GECOS fields, etc. Being PERL, it could easily be changed to generation of passwords (if that's what you want - I personally don't like it).
