update-cracklib(8)                   System Manager's Manual                   update-cracklib(8)



NAME
       update-cracklib - Regenerate cracklib dictionary

SYNOPSIS
       update-cracklib


DESCRIPTION
       update-cracklib  builds  a  compressed  and accumulated version of wordlists stored in the
       directories given in cracklib's configuration file  /etc/cracklib/cracklib.conf.  Programs
       using cracklib2 need this database to be of any use.

       By default this script is called by cron every day.


RESULT
       update-cracklib prints out two numbers: the number of words read from the ASCII dictionar-
       ies and the number of words eventually written into the cracklib  database;  if  no  error
       occurred, these should be equal.

       0  is  returned on success, otherwise an error message is printed to standard error and -1
       is returned.


FILES
       /etc/cracklib/cracklib.conf
              shell script that sets cracklib_dictpath_src which must be a space  separated  list
              of source dictionary files.


SEE ALSO
