Hey,

Fri 17:46:33 <weasel> jandd: oh.  if you're upstream...
Fri 17:46:49 <weasel> jandd: I want a properly documented, stable, and
                             clean way to set min_length
Fri 17:47:06 <weasel> jandd: without overriding what really ought to be
                             internal variables from the outside

I.e. DIFF_OK, MIN_LENGTH, DIG_CREDIT, UP_CREDIT, LOW_CREDIT, OTH_CREDIT.

Don't know what a sane interface is.  If you consider assigning directly
to cracklib.$foo correct, then it probably should handle these things
getting renamed since the last version somehow.  But probably something
else is smarter.

Documenting them also needed.


cheers,
