How do I relax the password requirements in Fedora? I though adjusting /etc/pam.d/system-auth was were the changed needed to be made, I made this change: #password requisite pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3 type= password sufficient pam_unix.so sha512 shadow nullok try_first_pass #use_authtok password required pam_deny.so but Fedora still seems to be strict on password requirements. So either I attacked the wrong file or made the wrong changes. Any pointers to where I should be making my changes?
You can remove pam_cracklib from the chain, change it to "optional" or change its parameters. Check "man pam_cracklib" for how it works and the parameters it accepts. Personally, I'd leave it "requisite" and change its parameters to accommodate your relaxed restrictions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do - - in it. - - -- WC.
