+<title>Installation of <application>cracklib</application></title>
+
+<para>First, we need to install the chosen word list for cracklib:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput><command>install -d -m755 /usr/share/dict &amp;&amp;
+install -m644 <replaceable>[wordlist]</replaceable> /usr/share/dict &amp;&amp;
+ln -sf <replaceable>[wordlist]</replaceable> /usr/share/dict/words &amp;&amp;
+echo $(hostname) >> /usr/share/dict/extra.words</command></userinput></screen>
+
+<para>Our wordlist is linked to <filename>/usr/share/dict/words</filename> as
+historically, <filename>words</filename> is the primary wordlist in the
+<filename class="directory">/usr/share/dict</filename> directory.  We also echo
+the value of hostname to a file called extra.words.  This extra file is intened
+to be a site specific list which includes easy to guess passwords such as
+company or department name, user's names, product names, computer name, domain
+name, etc.</para>
+
+<para>Now apply BLFS patch:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput><command>patch -Np1 -i ../cracklib,&cracklib-version;-blfs-1.patch</command></userinput></screen>
+
+<para>If necessary, apply the heimdal patch:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput><command>cp -R cracklib cracklib_krb5 &amp;&amp;
+patch -Np1 -i ../cracklib,&cracklib-version;-heimdal-1.patch</command></userinput></screen>
+
+<para>Finally install the package:</para>
+<screen><userinput><command>make install</command></userinput></screen>
