I am experimenting with Red Hat 7.3. I have configured PAM to maintain password history and enforce the use of strong passwords. It seems to work well... if a user changes his/her password, the old password is written to /etc/security/opasswd and he/she is forced to use a stronger password than I'm sure causes them to curse me in silence. However, if root changes another user's password, the user's old password is NOT written to /etc/security/opasswd. Also, when root changes another user's password, weak passwords can be specified. How can I configure PAM to force root to write user passwords (and even its own old passwords) to /etc/security/opasswd? How can I configure PAM to force root to honor using strong passwords when setting a user's password, or even its own password? Thank you. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? HotJobs - Search Thousands of New Jobs http://www.hotjobs.com
