.br

.SH DESCRIPTION
.B update\-cracklib
builds a compressed and accumulated version of wordlists stored in the
directories given in cracklib's configuration file

database to be of any use.

By default this script is called by cron every day.

.SH RESULT

prints out two numbers: the number of words read from the ASCII
dictionaries and the number of words eventually written into the
cracklib database; if no error occurred, these should be equal.
.PP
0 is returned on success, otherwise an error message is printed to 
standard error and \-1 is returned.

shell script that sets
