qmailadmin password-strenght patch

May 1 2020 update: This patch has been replaced by the qmailadmin-cracklib patch, that is much more robust. Look here for more info

A big lack of qmail account managers, expecially qmailadmin, is that they do not provide any password complexity check. A couple of days ago I discovered in one of my servers a "test 123456" account and I realized that the time had come to put a patch on it.

Since I had no luck in having cracklib working inside qmailadmin (any help  on the purpose would be veeerrry much appreciated) I've quickly found a solution via a javascript form validation, which refuses unsecure passwords. You can easily customize how it decides to accept/refuse the passwords modifying the file pw_strenght_chk.js in the html dir.
