error opening shadow group file

Is there supposed to be something there after 'type='? Everything looks the same
as mine except for that 'type=' part. Try removing that so it reads:

password    required      /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3

I'm not sure that's the problem though... :-{ I'll do some more research and see
what I come up with.
