If I understand the above code snippet correct,
then it does allow user='root' and password='root'
and does depend on further checks.

Yes. That's right.

Please simply to source code into

 +	ret=`echo $passwd | grep -ci $user`
 +	if test $ret = 1; then
 +		return 0
 +	fi

It does better match + # password shouldn't contain login account.
and it will prevent user='R00tme' with pasword='R00tme'


when I tested like that user="foo" password="food123", I thought this case may be allowed.
because, this case grep returns 1.
so, I added "if test $passwd_len -ge $user_len; then" line.
I couldn't find another solution:-(

Nitpicking:

Start 'choose' with a capital.


Yes.


Thanks for the patch
Some one who should find out,
if he could had apply the patch into versioning system.
