Hi Yah,
Been checking out a server for one of my friends - he has leased it from a
well known colo centre.
I've just been installing IPChains, chkrootkit, ssh, logcheck and all the
other essentials for him - so he doesn't have to got through some of the
heartache I went through after leasing some servers.
Had a snoop through some of the directories as su (ssh2 of course) and
found these 3 files hidden away in usr/lib
cracklib_dict.hwm
cracklib_dict.pwd
cracklib_dict.pwi
Now I know this is for testing passwords for vulnerabilities - surely this
wouldn't be standard installation files would it?
I think he might be a bit cheesed if it isn't
Regards
Chae
