UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

hi guys
Suse 11 SP x64

I want to set a password policy but I am unable to get it working

I have this under /etc/pam.d/common-password

Code:

password        requisite       pam_pwcheck.so  nullok cracklib
password        required        pam_unix2.so    use_authtok nullok

I tried the last line but I get some errors when a new user is trying to set his/her password

Code:

password        requisite       pam_pwcheck.so  nullok cracklib
password        required        pam_unix2.so    use_authtok nullok
password        requisite       pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=8 lcredit=-1 ucredit=-1 dcredit=-1 ocredit=-1 difok=3

basically I want the user to user uppercase letter, lower case letter, a symbol and a number and only 3 previous characters are permitted from previous password


any idea how to fix this?

thanks a lot

You get what errors?
