Password Attribute

Hello Friends ,

Where do i check the following settings in redhat ?

1. Minimum required number of characters in the password (passwordMinLength)

2. Minimum number of digit characters, meaning numbers between zero and nine (passwordMinDigits)

3. Minimum number of ASCII alphabetic characters, both upper- and lower-case (passwordMinAlphas)

4. Minimum number of uppercase ASCII alphabetic characters (passworMinUppers)

5. Minimum number of lowercase ASCII alphabetic characters (passwordMinLowers)

6.Minimum number of special ASCII characters, such as !@#$ (passwordMinSpecials).

7.Minimum number of 8-bit characters (passwordMin8bit)

8. Maximum number of times that the same character can be immediately repeated, such as aaabbb (passwordMaxRepeats)

9.Minimum number of character categories required per password; a category can be upper- or lower-case letters, special characters, digits, or 8-bit characters (passwordMinCategories)


Any kind of help is appreciated.


Thanks

Thanks for reply.

But /etc/login.defs only contain " Password aging control" information.
