5 # position with a '#'. Empty lines and lines with just spaces are
6 # ignored. The other lines may be verbatim patterns and match as they
7 # are (trailing spaces are ignored) or extended regular expressions
8 # indicated by a / in the first column and terminated by another / or
9 # end of line. All comparisons are case insensitive.
11 # Reject the usual metavariables. Usual not required because
12 # gpg-agent can be used to reject all passphrases shorter than 8
18 # As well as very common passwords. Note that gpg-agent can be used
19 # to reject them due to missing non-alpha characters.
