Hi All,

Just thought to share with you guys pam_passwdqc in Solaris 6-9. On all
solaris version however I still cannot implement the variable
min=N0,N1,N2,N3,N4. , everytime I am adding this to the configuration I am
receiving a "Permission Denied" error. Anybody have seen this before?

To implement:
after downloading the passwdqc source code
compile using /usr/ccs/bin/make
this will create the passwdqc.so library
copy to /usr/lib/security
edit /etc/pam.conf to look like this in solaris 6
other password required /usr/lib/security/passwdqc.sh ask_oldauthtok max=8
match=3 similar=deny

On solaris 8 and 9
remark get and check
insert the following before the pam_authok_store
other password required /usr/lib/security/passwdqc.sh max=8 match=3
similar=deny
But still cannot make the min settings to work.
