2 descriptions of the options mentioned here.
7 Most modern Linux distributions use Linux-PAM with a password changing
8 module which understands "use_authtok". Thus, you may choose which
9 module prompts for the old password, things should work either way.
14 As of this writing (April 2002), FreeBSD-current is moving to OpenPAM
15 which pam_passwdqc already includes support for. The next step would
16 be for FreeBSD to start actually using PAM from password changing.
17 Once that becomes a reality, you should be able to use pam_passwdqc
23 pam_passwdqc has to ask for the old password during the update phase.
24 Use "ask_oldauthtok=update check_oldauthtok" with pam_passwdqc and
25 "use_first_pass" with pam_unix.
27 You will likely also need to set "max=8" in order to actually enforce
28 not-so-weak passwords with the obsolete "traditional" crypt(3) hashes
29 that most Solaris systems use. Of course this way you only get about
30 one third of the functionality of pam_passwdqc.
