Description : Mkinitrd creates filesystem images for use as initial ramdisk (initrd) images. These ramdisk images are often used to preload the block device modules (SCSI or RAID) needed to access the root filesystem. In other words, generic kernels can be built without drivers for any SCSI adapters which load the SCSI driver as a module. Since the kernel needs to read those modules, but in this case it isn't able to address the SCSI adapter, an initial ramdisk is used. The initial ramdisk is loaded by the operating system loader (normally LILO) and is available to the kernel as soon as the ramdisk is loaded. The ramdisk image loads the proper SCSI adapter and allows the kernel to mount the root filesystem. The mkinitrd program creates such a ramdisk using information found in the /etc/conf.modules file.

By default, cpio creates binary format archives, so that they are compatible with older cpio programs. When it is extracting files from archives, cpio automatically recognizes which kind of archive it is reading and can read archives created on machines with a different byte-order. Install cpio if you need a program to manage file archives. Name : cracklib Relocations: (not relocateable) Version : 2.7 Vendor: Red Hat Software Release : 5 Build Date: Tue Apr 6 11:19:22 1999 Install date: Tue Dec 17 13:33:57 1901 Build Host: bart32.devel.redhat.com Group : System Environment/Libraries Source RPM: cracklib-2.7-5.src.rpm Size : 91334 License: artistic Packager : Red Hat Software URL : ftp://coast.cs.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/cracklib/ Summary : A password-checking library. Description : CrackLib tests passwords to determine whether they match certain security-oriented characteristics.

CrackLib is not a replacement for a passwd program; it must be used in conjunction with an existing passwd program. Install the cracklib package if you need a program to check users' passwords to see if they are at least minimally secure. If you install CrackLib, you'll also want to install the cracklib-dicts package.
