Passwd doesn't check if the new password contains characters other  
than alpha, num, space and symbol so some of our users ended up with  
passwords containing UTF8 characters. Since passwords are often used  
in various different applications this is not a good idea. Attached is  
a patch that introduces a counter for characters not matched by other  
ctype classes. In addition to this password charset has to be taken  
into account in order to split into characters correctly.
