["Fathi Said" <fathi@xxxxxx>]

Hello

When looking in my /usr/sbin directory I see a strange program called
create-cracklib-dict. Anyone else having this program, or do I have a hacker
(again)?

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root          514 Feb 24  1999 create-cracklib-dict

(Obviously, the date either must have been changed or it was there before I
had the box as I started using this server sometimes in April 2000).

If I have a look into the program it tells me:

#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "$*" ]; then
    echo "Usage:"
    echo "  /usr/sbin/create-cracklib-dict wordlist ..."
    echo
    echo "This script takes one or more word list files as arguments"
    echo "and converts them into cracklib dictionaries for use"
    echo "by password checking programs. The results are placed in"
    echo "/usr/lib/cracklib_dict.*"
    echo
    echo "Example:"
    echo "/usr/sbin/create-cracklib-dict /usr/dict/words"
else
    /usr/sbin/mkdict $* | /usr/sbin/packer /usr/lib/cracklib_dict
fi


Thanks for any help or information.
