Hi, It seems that the three dictionary files for cracklib (pw_dict.hwm, pw_dic.pwd and pw_dict.pwi) are empty on SLES 10-SP1 system but on a SLES 9 system they were populated when the system was installed.
This causes YAST to fail adding users or changing passwords for users without any error message. Command line password change via passwd command receives the following error message: /usr/share/cracklib/pw_dict: error reading header and does not change the password. This happens only when the local security settings in YAST are set to check for complicated passwords, etc.. Turning these settings off will fix the problem. Does anyone know how to build the dictionary files for cracklib on SLES 10 and why they are missing to begin with? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
