Hello Managers,
I've written perl pwpolicy script, as below, which checks simply that an
entered password contains a mix of alphanumeric characters.
If I run the script in isolation, and then check the result using "echo
$?", then i see exit codes 0 & 1 as I would expect, but when called via the
password command i just get an illegal password error, for anything entered
at all.
Other details are 4.0f pk7, Enhanced security.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Neil
