[comp.unix.questions] password checker

Hi,

	Does anyone have or know where I can get a program to encrypt a set of
clear-text trial passwords using all the seeds used in /etc/passwd, and then
compare the encryptions with the encrypted passwords in /etc/passwd ?

	My list of trial passwords will NOT have lots of words, just the more
simple ones (all lower-case, all letters, 5-8 chars. long, all real words).

Thanks to all who responded to my request for a password checking program. I
have received several programs. 

At first glance none of them do all that I want, so I think that I will mix and
match pieces of them to get what I want.

Thanks again.
