1Please see the README for instructions common to all platforms and 2descriptions of the options mentioned here. 3 4 5 Linux. 6 7Most modern Linux distributions use Linux-PAM with a password changing 8module which understands "use_authtok". Thus, you may choose which 9module prompts for the old password, things should work either way. 10 11 12 FreeBSD. 13 14As of this writing (April 2002), FreeBSD-current is moving to OpenPAM 15which pam_passwdqc already includes support for. The next step would 16be for FreeBSD to start actually using PAM from password changing. 17Once that becomes a reality, you should be able to use pam_passwdqc 18with FreeBSD. 19 20 21 Solaris. 22 23pam_passwdqc has to ask for the old password during the update phase. 24Use "ask_oldauthtok=update check_oldauthtok" with pam_passwdqc and 25"use_first_pass" with pam_unix. 26 27You will likely also need to set "max=8" in order to actually enforce 28not-so-weak passwords with the obsolete "traditional" crypt(3) hashes 29that most Solaris systems use. Of course this way you only get about 30one third of the functionality of pam_passwdqc. 31
