I agree with you in that it is optional. However, there are lots of packages in LFS which are optional. CrackLib, as does other packages which are not required that LFS installs, adds additional functionality and security. Mind you, I don't really care either way. I just think the book would be better with it installed. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 17:13:00 up 124 days, 16:46, 2 users, load average: 1.00, 0.94, 0.59 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
