Fix Recommendation

If lcredit was not set at all in "/etc/pam.d/common-password-vmware.local" then run the following command:

# sed -i '/pam_cracklib.so/ s/$/ lcredit=-1/' /etc/pam.d/common-password-vmware.local

If "lcredit" was set incorrectly, run the following command to set it to "-1":

# sed -i '/pam_cracklib.so/ s/lcredit=../lcredit=-1/' /etc/pam.d/common-password-vmware.local
