I'm not sure why, but for some reason the directory servers are not
enforcing password history policies.  I've set the policy from within
the fds console at the data level (as described in directory server
documentation).

Did you set "Enable fine-grained password policy" under the Configuration tab -> Data node -> Passwords tab? Because the console will allow you to configure the fine grained password policy under the Directory tab even if this is not set, but it will not take effect.

Here is a sample ldap.conf file:

pam_password exop
pam_password clear
pam_password md5
ssl start_tls
ssl on

I'm running fds 1.0.1 on a redhat 4 box (actually have 2 directory
servers, I've set this policy on both servers, supplier consumer
replication is setup between them.

I've verified that this is not enforced regardless if the client has ssl
enabled or not.

Did you try ldapmodify from the command line to see if the problem is with FDS or with PAM? e.g.
ldapmodify -D "uid=user,ou=people,dc=company,dc=com" -w currentpassword
dn: uid=user,ou=people,dc=company,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: passwordinhistory

Please advise as this is a highly critical issue that I
must get fixed in order to move this into production.  Thanks very much.
