There is nothing in /etc/pam.d/gdm about cracklib. Also lib-cracklib isn't installed anyway. In the files gdm password required pam_unix_passwd.so shadow
login password required pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=4 max=8 ssh password required pam_unix.so pam_unix_password.so is a link to pam_unix.so It's puzzling why gdm is doing this, but now the user has a better password.
