Please see the README for instructions common to all platforms and

descriptions of the options mentioned here.

Linux.
|
|
|
|
Most modern Linux distributions use Linux-PAM with a password changing
|
|
module which understands "use_authtok". Thus, you may choose which
|
|
module prompts for the old password, things should work either way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD.
|
|
|
|
As of this writing (April 2002), FreeBSD-current is moving to OpenPAM
|
|
which pam_passwdqc already includes support for. The next step would
|
|
be for FreeBSD to start actually using PAM from password changing.
|
|
Once that becomes a reality, you should be able to use pam_passwdqc
|
|
with FreeBSD.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Solaris.
|
|
|
|
pam_passwdqc has to ask for the old password during the update phase.
|
|
Use "ask_oldauthtok=update check_oldauthtok" with pam_passwdqc and
|
|
"use_first_pass" with pam_unix.
|
|
|
|
You will likely also need to set "max=8" in order to actually enforce
|
|
not-so-weak passwords with the obsolete "traditional" crypt(3) hashes
|
|
that most Solaris systems use. Of course this way you only get about
|
|
one third of the functionality of pam_passwdqc.
