[rhelv6-list] Password security / check / complexity

[Götz Reinicke]

Hi,

recently a user asked me, why he can't change his passwort; he always get:

BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word

The password is 'klonk0AK'

:-) Now I was searching fro a way to see why this is a dictionary word
and how I can set the compexity / length etc of a password.

I bet it is something with pam :-)

We use Redhat EL 5.x

Thanks for any hints or suggestion.


	Best regards . Götz
