[Clfs-support] Hi all - new to clfs and found a minor bug

[Michael A. Peters]

I went through LFS a few times way back when - it's been awhile, but I'm 
going through clfs now, with the multilib x86_64 option (OS is CentOS 
5.2 x86_64)

Anyway - going through the book has been somewhat flawless, but I did 
sort of notice a bug.

http://cross-lfs.org/view/1.1.0-rc1/x86_64/final-system/shadow.html

It talks about optionally using cracklib, and to follow the bclfs 
instructions for cracklib.

The create-cracklib-dict command fails if you don't run ldconfig after 
installing cracklib before running the command. Easy enough to fix.

I'm not sure if it is a bug in the cracklib instructions, or if the 
chroot environment just isn't quite complete enough for the cracklib 
install script to figure out to run it itself.

Somewhere it should be mentioned, because you can't set the root 
password either until ldconfig has been run.

Other than that, it has been extremely smooth sailing (so far ...)

Thanks,

Michael
