My /etc/pam.d/passwd file says to include system-auth, and my
/etc/pam.d/system-auth file says:

password required pam_cracklib.so difok=2 minlen=8 dcredit=2 ocredit=2 retry=3

password sufficient pam_unix.so nullok md5 shadow use_authtok

password required pam_deny.so

This doesn't enforce strong passwords, it just says, 'You don't have
one.  Reconsider.'  (Effectively.)

I'm not sure how to get it to *enforce*, but I'll continue to look
into it.  If you figure it out, Chris, please let me know.
