Mike,
There are so many password crackers these days that can do this, try some of these in the first instance:

John The Ripper
LC5 (Albeit difficult to get hold of due to export restrictions)
Medusa
LCP
pwdump (deprecated by the following)
fgdump
Rainbowcrack
oat/ oscanner/ orabf/ checkpwd for oracle
piggy for sql (if I remember correctly)
scully for sql/ mysql

Rgds

Subject: Password Auditing


Can anyone recommend a good password auditing tool. Basically I want
to identify weak passwords on my servers (Windows, Linux, Unix).
Ideally this would be done by a tool that could remotely fetch the
local password database and then attempt to brute force the passwords
and prepare a report in a central location.

Any suggestions?
