.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.B mailer
|
||
|
|
is a script to send mail to all users whose passwords got cracked.
|
||
|
|
This is not always a good idea, though, since lots of people do not
|
||
|
|
check their e-mail or ignore such messages, and the messages can be a
|
||
|
|
hint for crackers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should probably deploy proactive password strength checking, such as
|
||
|
|
with passwdqc, before you ask users to change their passwords - whether
|
||
|
|
using this script or otherwise. And you should edit the message inside
|
||
|
|
the script before possibly using it.
