Ermm.. yes.. it's called PAM :)
Specifically you need a passwd executable compiled against libpam,
and you need to use pam_cracklib.so
SuSE 6.0 does not have PAM as far as I know; this would be somewhat
of a project.
Check out http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/ for info on PAM.

Subject: [suse-security] Cracklib with Suse 6.0
| Greetings,
| I just want to ensure that the users of my small server (everyone is
| allowed to use telnet except of me as root) choose some kind of "secure"
| password. In the moment I try to force this by running john the ripper
over
| the passwordfiles periodly. Most of the passwords can't be guessed in a
few
| hours, and that's safe enough for the enviroment.
|
| But I'd like the passwd program to do the job. Is there any possibility to
| install a program with cracklib-support under Suse 6.0? Or something
similar?
