>Debian provides a number of word lists that can be used as

      package wenglish provides a standard ASCII word list that can be
      directly used. The package ispell also supplies a large word
      list but it is in binary format. I haven't figured out how to
      decode this binary format so that the resulting word list can be
      used by cracklib2.</P
