I debianized npasswd so that dumb passwds would be refused on a clients machine. The currect passwd package rejects dumb passwds too. So I consider npasswd obsolete. If you feel the package is worthwhile, please take over maintenance of it. The "_" should be removed from the name if a new version is made. Since this is going to the bug tracking system, I will note that Marek has found security weaknesses in the npasswd_boulder package on sunsite. Since that is where I grabbed the sources, it is probable that the Debian package has inherited those weaknesses. Since I no longer use npasswd myself, I haven't bothered to investigate these conscerns. -- Christopher J.
