Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer my question. > The answer is written on top of the files you modified: > > "# This file is autogenerated by pam-config. All changes > # will be overwritten." Notably, pwcheck module is not included on my changes so why pam-config changed it? > And the config file you try to modify is not written by pam-config, > you modified it by yourself. No all configurations can be done using pam-config, add to this that on some distros there are symbolic links pointing to pam-config modified files: ls -l /etc/pam.d/common-password lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2013-08-26 15:08 /etc/pam.d/common-password -> common-password-pc If you can not make all the changes using pam-config then you should not use it at all? > Between, I'm pretty sure that the pam-config call will warn you that > this entries will be ignored. What entries are you referring to? If by entries you mean my changes then they were not ignored. _______________________________________________ Pam-list mailing list Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
