Hi, thanks to all for your help. I am sorry that I started a new thread within an old one, I didn't know that this happens when I reply with another subject. But now the good message I could solve my passwd problem. The failure was that I mistyped while preparing the configure file of pam. Something went wrong with:
sed -i 's|DICT_DIR_CANDIDATES="|&/lib /lib/cracklib |' I opened the configure file in vim and fixed it. Then I reconfigured and recompiled pam again and copied the /modules/pam_cracklib/pam_cracklib.so into /lib/security. Now passwd works fine and I am happy. Unfortunately neighter the configuration nor the compiler, the pam_cracklib.so or passwd give you normal error messages or warnings! And also in the logs you can not find anything useful when this problem occurs. A really ugly mistake. Next time, I will start new threads with a new mail ;). Many thanks again!
