LinuxQuestions.org - Configuring /etc/pam.d/passwd module

Hi all

I'm using RH9 and am facing some problems configuring my /etc/pam.d/passwd file.

I am trying to restrict the users such that when they change their password, it must be of minimum 10 characters.

Here's how my /etc/pam.d/passwd file looks like

Code:

auth                required        pam_stack.so service=system-auth

account                required        pam_stack.so service=system-auth

#password        required        pam_stack.so service=system-auth



# My own additions

password        required        /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=10

password        required        /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so md5 use_authtok

I commented out the 3rd line if you noticed.

Any idea?
