Hi all,
I’m looking for some direction with regard to implementing password
policy in unix authentication. I followed the ppolicy instructions
here:
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:PAM
In the UI, I’ve enabled password policy in the database, then on the
relevant subtree. I’ve enabled password aging, history, and
alphanumeric standards. But it looks like Fedora DS is still letting
me change my password to anything, and doesn’t maintain a history.
Clearly I’m missing something. I’ve checked out google and some of the
list history to no avail. Is there another doc I should take a look
at, or has anyone run into this?
Thanks,

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
