Hello,

I was wondering if anyone was looking into enforcement of strong passwords. I'm not a hardcore C programmer but I'm willing to help. But first I'll have to try in getting the current version compiled.
I'm certainly willing to do some testing.

Funny you should mention that. We're looking at that issue right now. What sort of things would you want to check for?
It's a pity I haven't read this thread earlier, currently I'm lagging a bit behind... For me it would be nice to allow/disallow certain characters in passwords. For example, we had a release of horde/imp which failed to cope with the "/"-character in passwords, so we disallowd that character, otherwise support was to busy answering questions like "why can I use every application but webmail?".
