Yes, I do dpkt -P cracklib-runtime on both machines, then I do dpkg -P
cracklib2 on both machines, and then I reinstall with apt-get install
cracklib2 and apt-get install cracklib-runtime.
On the purge, the machine that works requires I remove the *_dict.*
files by hand, otherwise they won't go away. I've done this each time
to make sure I'm not experiencing a ghost. I've also checked file
attributes and protections, and even compared the messaging on the
installs. I've not found the significant difference that correlates
with the one machine getting no *_dict.* files, other than the install
not taking as long for cracklib-runtime.
Perhaps a cogent question next is, have I been cracked?
The uname -a outputs are basically the same (except for hostname) too:
Linux myhost 2.2.19 #1 Tu Nov 1 19:52:06 EST 2001 i686 unknown
