I'm guessing that this is a shadow problem and not cracklib itself. AFAICT, pw_dict doesn't show up in the source tree unless preceded by the path I gave it and by DEFAULT_DICT_PATH (and in the various READMEs). I haven't done cracklib without pam since we put it into the book a few years ago. Let me know if you are still seeing the problem with the latest cracklib.
