When building Linux Pam Without Cracklib, there are 2 options for /etc/pam.d/system-password.

If you have to install cracklib later in book after initial build i,e libpwquality you need cracklib which tells you to rebuild shadow, but the /etc/pam.d/system-password is unchanged.

Would there be an option to put the cracklib /etc/pam.d/system-password file somewhere else or some sort of note about it.

It's a text file.  You can always overwrite the old with a new version.

Are you suggesting some text changes in the book?  If so, what explict changes?

Installing cracklib later in build, there isn't a reference to the Linux Pam file, so If you built shadow without Cracklib you create the 1 " system-password file" build cracklib > shadow you need to be reference to changing the system-password file.
Yes it is only a file and is changeable IF you know about it, or you forgot about it.
