Hi, I was looking through the Securing Debain tutorial, and thought I'd implement some of the PAM recommendations.
So, I install libpam-cracklib and make some changes in /etc/pam.d/ for login,ssh and passwd I comment out password required pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=4 max=8 md5 and include password required pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=6 difok=3 password required pam_unix.so use_authtok nullok md5 When I try to change my password I get the error : passwd: Critical error - immediate abort I undo the changes /etc/pam.d/passwd and I can change my password again. Any ideas ? thanks Matt Children's Cancer Institute Australia http://www.ccia.org.au --
