root and passwd and pam (help)


rhel 5.7 fully updated

ok, perhaps maybe just a distro issue but trying to figure out a few things.

i use pam_passwdqc.so to enforce password policy, but i cannot get passwd to prompt for "enter current password" when user is uid=0 changing it's own password. is there a change somewhere to get that functionality? i cant seem to find any conf's or pam switches that would enforce this.
Code:
pam_passwdqc.so min=disabled,disabled,12,8,7 retry=3 similar=deny enforce=everyone ask_oldauthtok
thnx
LK
