I got this compiled. But, when I run it, after trying to add a password, I get this error: /var/cache/cracklib/cracklib_dict.pwd: Permission denied PWOpen: Illegal seek and then cpm exits. Here's my cpm: 352 -rwsr-xr-x 1 root robert 354638 Apr 9 09:31 /usr/local/bin/cpm* Here's the cracklib file: 216 -rw-r----- 1 root root 214222 Apr 8 21:02 /var/cache/cracklib/cracklib_dict.pwd I'm running Linux 2.4.18-386 with an ext2 file system. I'm running the 2.7-8.5 version of cracklib2. Any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks.
