# minimum password length (optional default: 0)

To build custom cracklib dictionaries:
Get one or many word list files (for example here: http://www.winedt.org/Dict/).
If necessary, encode it to UTF-8.
Generate the cracklib dictionary.
example:
# Just create a work directory
$ mkdir dict/
$ cd dict/
# Recover and unzip the word list
$ wget http://www.winedt.org/Dict/unicode/fr.zip
$ unzip fr.zip
# UTF-8 encoding
$ file *
fr.dic: Little-endian UTF-16 Unicode text
fr.txt: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
fr.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract
$ iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 fr.dic >fr2.dic
# Create the dictionary
$ cat fr2.dic | cracklib-packer mydict
# Result
$ ls mydict*
