Actually, /usr/share/dict. Shouldn't new package be constructed from the start to use FHS? What format are these files in? Are they ASCII? The reason I ask is that I'm the maintainer of the cracklib package that uses lists of words to prevent the selection of easily guessed passwords. If the wordnet database is in a suitable format, it may make an excellect source or words for cracklib. -- Jean Pierre -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
