Hi again,
I've figured it out. My cracklib dict files were from an older version of
cracklib. I removed all files installed by cracklib-files and rebuilt it
all from source. Seems to work fine now, thanks!

Hi everyone,
I've got a strange problem. When I run passwd with the following pam
config it segfualts for certain passwords. From what I can tell, it's
dying during the dictionary check.
Can anyone tell me how I could troubleshoot this? Has anyone else seen
this?
BTW -
cracklib,2.7
Linux-PAM-0.74
glibc 2.2
gcc 2.95.2
kernel 2.4.1
