RE: Tightening up ppolicy

["Kline, Sara" <SKline@tnsi.com>]

I am not a programmer. I am just starting to learn Perl, but am not much beyond Hello World. Does anyone have an example that I could work from? I have some very rudimentary programming skills in a few languages but I have not found any examples online thus far that look like what I need.

Thanks,
Sara Kline

You write a checking module, and in that module, you do the strength tests that you require.  As noted in the text from the man page.
