Obvious password checker (ward off hackers)

Greetings,

I have wrote a program that will check the password file for commonly tried
passwords by hackers.  I am offering the source to System administers.  Due to
the fact that this program will report the users of these passwords I will
only mail it to a user id of root.   Currently it has about 20 or so passwords
in its table.  I am open to add more passwords.  If you have a password that 
you believe users will use often please let me know.


This is a first in a series of unix programs to provide a more secure unix
system.
