Helo Jim thx again for replying me quickly.
I have one more dought again
My problem is that suppose create a user and give a 12 character password . It will accept this password.
But when I logg off and again login and now I give first 8 character then only It will accept password. So it menas it validates only first 8 character.
One more my /etc/pam.d/passwd file contains following
#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_env.so
auth sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok
auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so
account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so
account sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_succeed_if.so uid < 100 quiet
account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_permit.so
password requisite /lib/security/$ISA/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=12
password sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow
password required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_deny.so
session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_limits.so
session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so
Now tell me where do i make change in passwd (/etc/pam.d/passwd)
or system-auth (/etc/pam.d/system-auth )
Once again thx for your support.
Regards,
Amit
#%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
password required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
there is no entry like cracklib
any way my /etc/pam.d/system-auth file contains following
