Is there any command line program that determines and reports what pam_cracklib.so returns for a given password; subject to variation in the command line options and values provided? For example, assuming a cli driver program called cli_driver_pgm:

Googling for `"pam_cracklib" cli tool` got me a recommendation of `cracklib-check` via superuser [1]. Not sure if that does what you want, but it might be a start?

I came up with cracklib-check too. It too uses FascistCheck like pam_cracklib but none of the elements that are configurable for pam_cracklib are setable for cracklib-check. I have obtained the source for pam_cracklib so I will see if I can create something on my own to yield what I wish. Sometime. Maybe. If I live long enough.
