Description
this can be done natively with kerberos, and all clients can enforce passwords by writing to kerberos and handling the error + maybe parsing the policy to get the password requirements.

Research direction
Start by locating check-pass-strength.py and the NixOS configuration or callers that use it. Read the referenced discussion in PR #326, then confirm that password-strength checking can be removed in favor of native Kerberos handling and that no clients still depend on the script; done means the obsolete check is deprecated without leaving broken references.
