Ahh... Yes that would do it also :) You've two options here. Either:

apt-get install libpam-cracklib

Or edit /etc/pam.d/rlogin and comment out the line containing cracklib... 
Make sure you know the implications of doing this though! You must have a 
line elsewhere in the file to handle authentication... something like:

password   required     pam_unix.so

Else it won't let you in at all... There are some comments in many of the 
pam files (presumably rlogin included) that will give you some helpful 
pointers about what to edit.

hth,
Iain
