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 dictionaries 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.
