If I understand correctly, LC is capable of doing what you're asking.

Bit of an unusual one -

Lets imagine you are a security administrator at a company - strong 
passwords are enforced but you suspect that there may be exceptions and 
you want to raise management awareness of breaches of the password 
policy BUT you can't run cracking software as then you will know 
individuals passwords - which you don't want to know as this breaks 
acountability rather nicely.

In short - is there software that can perform the function of LC and 
John without giving the admin the password but rather rate the password 
against against a set criteria?
