Title: Re: password policy help
Hi John,

Oddly enough, I’m using CentOS, but it doesn’t work.  I believe it’s something in my DS config, but I can’t seem to figure out what.  Any other places to look?

Hi, Aaron.  I'm no expert on this and am struggling to figure it out
myself however I did find I had to tweak the order of pam modules in
Ubuntu.  If I recall correctly, CentOS worked out of the box.  I know
that's not a clear answer but I hope it sparks you to find a solution.
Please post your results as I'd like to know.  Thanks - John
