Hello, thank you for your answer, it is really helpful, although I cannot use gnu tail now... but at least I know the reason
I'll make a script which will go through directory files and for each it will display last ten rows.
That will make it.
Have a nice day!

update-cracklib
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.
SEE ALSO
cracklib(3), crack_mkdict(8)
