Yes, I do dpkt -P cracklib-runtime on both machines, then I do dpkg -P cracklib2 on both machines, and then I reinstall with apt-get install cracklib2 and apt-get install cracklib-runtime. On the purge, the machine that works requires I remove the *_dict.* files by hand, otherwise they won't go away. I've done this each time to make sure I'm not experiencing a ghost. I've also checked file attributes and protections, and even compared the messaging on the installs. I've not found the significant difference that correlates with the one machine getting no *_dict.* files, other than the install not taking as long for cracklib-runtime. Perhaps a cogent question next is, have I been cracked? The uname -a outputs are basically the same (except for hostname) too: Linux myhost 2.2.19 #1 Tu Nov 1 19:52:06 EST 2001 i686 unknown -- http://www.eskimo.com/~xeno [EMAIL PROTECTED] Physically I'm at: 5101 N. 45th St., Tacoma, WA, 98407-3717, U.S.A.
