In the following line do you not need type=user? Without it passwd tells
me "passwd: cannot retrieve user's name"

password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so difok=2
minlen=8 dcredit=2 ocredit=2 retry=3

This is what I use and it works for me (/etc/pam.d/passwd):
auth required /lib/security/pam_unix.so
account required /lib/security/pam_unix.so
password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so difok=2
minlen=8 dcredit=2 ocredit=2 retry=3
password required /lib/security/pam_unix.so nis use_authtok
