Sorry for the premature message.  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.
