Hello Gurus: SuSE 9.2 Pro. I need to make that my users put at least 1 number and 1 upper case letter in their 8 characters long passwords's. I've read all the docs, readmes and mans, and searched google for examples, follow them, it should be working already but not clue why not. My files are: /etc/security/pam_pwcheck.conf : password: minlen=8 cracklib nullok blowfish debug remember=12 /etc/security/pam_unix2.conf : auth: account: password: session: none /etc/default/passwd: CRYPT=blowfish CRYPT_FILES=blowfish BLOWFISH_CRYPT_FILES=10 CRYPT_YP=des /etc/pam.d/passwd : #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_unix2.so nullok account required pam_unix2.so password required pam_cracklib.so retry=3 debug ucredit=-1 dcredit=-1 ocredit=0 lcredit=0 minlen=8 password required pam_pwcheck.so use_authtok password required pam_unix2.so use_first_pass use_authtok session required pam_unix2.so Best Regards Oxiel
