I'm writing a BASH script and cannot get look to work.

Where can I download the generic look command?

I have dictd and dict-gcide installed, but dict can't find anydictionaries when I'm off line.dict-gcide installed its dictionary to /usr/share/dictd/ but readingthe comment in /etc/dict/dictd.conf it expects to find it in/usr/lib/dict?dict.conf:# This is the configuration file for dict. # Usually all you will ever need here is the server keywords. # Refer to the dict manpage for other op

I have changed the symlink /usr/share/dict/words to point to my own custom dictionary but it doesn't seem to affect anything.

Chromium and Abiword neither seem to use this dictionary.

Which appilications use words? Do I have to manually configure each application to use it? What is the point of having a system dictionary if applications are going to use their own anyway?

In this directory I have English dict and my language file, but where I can download other language? Or maybe you known other free dictionary? I need to make list of word that are not in the dictionary.

I'm new to Linux and currently working through some tutorials. The question I am currently answering is :

How many words can you find which contain any two characters repeated three times, like the examples "interlinking" and "priestessess". Use /usr/share/dict/words as your list of possible words and grep to find the answer.

Find word in a large file 48 weeks 21 hours ago

Hi all

I am working on disallowing users to use easy passwords in pam.d setting on RHEL 5.7 and SuSe 11, and I was hoping to add more words into the current cracklib dict, so I use "echo" command to append new words into the file

I dont want to add the same words into the dict, I think I have too many redundant words now.

I am looking for free lists of words in multiple languages.

I understand that linux distributions do have such lists in /usr/dict. Is it possible to download these from somewhere without having to install linux? Tar balls (or equivalent) would be great. Thanks.

I'm trying to reduce the amount of space that some of pdf's take up. I have use pdf2ps then ps2pdf which works great.

Hi! I recently downloaded a wordlist file called 2of12.txt, which is a wordlist of common words, part of the 12dicts package.
