Re: Implementing Security Policies

Dear Stephen,

Thanks for responding.

My security policies include something as below:

setting minimum password length.
setting number of retry attempts for the password.
setting password history, etc.

In FC3, I tried by changing MIN_PASS_LEN=5 in /etc/login.defs files and also included minlen=5 parameter in /etc/pam.d/system-auth file.

Kindly suggest whether I am proceeding in the correct direction or not.

Regards,
Bhaskar.

I think we need a bit more information on what you are meaning by
security policies.. (a very large boat). Are you wanting to limit the
amount of time a person is logged in, how hard his password must be?
etc? Or something completely different


There are a lot of starting points, but a little more information is
needed to make sure you are getting the correct path
