Following is the /etc/pam.d/system-auth file #%PAM-1.0 # This file is auto-generated. # User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run. auth required pam_env.so auth required /lib64/security/pam_tally.so deny=2 onerr=fail even_deny_root_account unlock_time=5 auth sufficient pam_unix.so likeauth nullok auth required pam_deny.so #account required /lib64/security/pam_tally.so account required pam_unix.so password required pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=8 difok=3 debug password required pam_passwdqc.so enforce=everyone min=disabled,8,8,8,8 similar=deny passphrase=0 random=0 match=4 password sufficient pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow debug remember=5 password required pam_deny.so session optional pam_keyinit.so revoke session required pam_limits.so session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet use_uid session required pam_unix.so But when I use passwd to change the password, it does not store the old passwords in /etc/security/opasswd and it does not remember the old passwords. Can you please let me know what am I doing wrong here. Please help. Thanks in advance. Thanks & Regards, Aruna</div>  </div> </body></html>
