[SOLVED] Minimum Length Password

Anish · Post by **Anish** » 2011/10/04 21:15:04

Hi Guys,

I am using CentOS 6. I am triyng to modify setup such that the password must be changed every 30 days and have a minimum lenght of 6 . I've modified the /etc/login.defs file but it is not working.

And the other way around is /etc/pam.d/passwd but no success.

Can anyone suggest me the way to do it..

Thanks in Advance..

resolved:-

vi /etc/pam.d/passwd

in that:-

password required pam_cracklib.so minlen=7 retry=3
#password include system-auth
