Gurus,
I've tried to find the answer through the man pages (passwd) and
googling, but I'm unable to find what parameter can be used in the
/etc/default/passwd file that defines the number of days/weeks that a
"used" password is kept. In other words, I don't want my users to
change their password back to one that had been used before in the last
month or so. In other operating systems - i.e. AIX and SGI - you can
use the "HISTORYDAYS" or "histsize" and set this to the number of weeks
that must pass before that same password can be re-used. Any help or
advice is greatly appreciated and I will summarize. Thanks.
