I''m new to Debian 5 so please be gentle
When I use 'adduser' it states 'Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters)' - how can I enforce password complexity?
I would like to have a minimum of 10 characters and also have numbers, certain special characters etc.
I want to change the password complexity how do i do this?
View 9 Replies View Relatedwe have a line in /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac on RH 5.1:
password requisite pam_passwdqc.so min=disabled,disabled,disabled,disabled,8
I believe this should require new passwords to be 4 character classes only with minimum size =8 (uppercase, lowercase, digits, special chars) however running passwd also gives option of using word:word,word which only contains 2 of the required classes. Is there any way to fix this so only 4 character class passwords can be generated ?
I'm having no success getting password complexity to work with RH4/U5. Added/modified the following to /etc/pam.d/system-auth
password required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_passwdqc.so min=disabled,disabled,disabled,disabled,12
password sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow nis remember=24
I have deployed complexity before on other releases w/o problems.This one is a NIS server, but I have other NIS servers working fine. I even tried copying system-auth from a RH4/U2 NIS server which performs complexity to the RH4/U5 system - no luck. When I attempt to change a user password from a user acct, get message that password must be at least 6 characters. The system-auth file I am using dictates 12 characters with 4 different character cases. /etc/login.defs also has minimum length set to 12 - no idea where the 6 character limit is coming from. I also tried using cracklib.so with minlen=12 , no luck there either.
I must be losing it because I can't seem to find my answer on the google mechine. I need to enforce password complexity in ubuntu. I need min length, upper case, number and or special characters. I don't want to have to install pam_cracklib on all these boxes. I have looked at he common-password and it's not much.

Longer story:
Somehow I got my keyring and login passwords out of sync. I went to change my login password using passwd on the terminal. I meant to change it to (let's say) "abcdef" but typed "abcdfe" twice. Realizing my mistake I tried to used passwd a second time to change it to "abcdef", but passwd complained that the new password was too similar to the old. So I used "su -c 'passwd myusername'" - I was able to change my login password but I guess this did not update my keyring password. I've tried changing my password using passwd as myself (not root) to something completelydifferent, but my keyring password remains the first password (e.g. "abcdfe").
I would like to ask how could I enforce "NT-style" password complexity, for instance, the new password must contain 2 lowercase characters, 2 digits and 1 non-alphabetic character set, on Samba PDC so that while some samba clients change their passwords from Windows XP workstations. I have configured check password script option on samba configuration file, but users could not change password from Windows XP workstations no matter how complicated password they use.
A dialog box said: The password supplied does not meet the minimum complexity requirements. Please select another password that meets all of the following criteria: is at least 5 characters; has not been used in the previous 0 passwords; does not contain your account or full name; contains at least three of the following four character groups:
English uppercase characters (A through Z);
English lowercase characters (a through z);
Numerals (0 through 9);
Non-alphabetic characters (such as !, $, #, %)

On my linux machine, I've enforced a password expiry policy every 45 days. So, today when I tried to ssh to the host, I get the typical "WARNING: Your password has expired". Fine, no big deal. But when I enter my new password and confirm, instead of giving me a login prompt, it tells me passwd all auth tokens updated successfully, then next line, "Connection to <host> closed". I can re-ssh back into that host and all is well from here, but it's a nuisance having to go through the extra step. Is this something in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config somewhere or perhaps a PAM config issue?

1 : The default password used by the sample templates for newly installed machines (default_password_crypted in /etc/cobbler/settings) is still set to 'cobbler' and should be changed, try: "openssl passwd -1 -salt 'random-phrase-here' 'your-password-here'" to generate new one Restart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't know what is up with our servers, but each time I upgrade Linux or switch back to Windows it seems that the default providers have changed,and as such I'm having trouble finding out how to change the default run level from 5 to 3 in Ubuntu 10.4. I had tried the /fstab file, and although the last time I made this configuration was under Suse, I'm not even sure that's how I did it for OpenSuse. I did find how to pass the text argument to the kernel but I don't want to disable GDM so that I have to renable it everytime I login. I'm unsure of how this will affect the startx command, at which point I'll be stuck sifting through books for random commands that might perform the task I would like.To elaborate, the reason I'd like to switch my default run-time level is so that I can configure an nvidia proprietary driver, which requires that the x server not be running and I could switch tty's but that doesn't shutdown the x server and although someone had given me a key combination to the effect of ctrl-alt-backspace,backspace I was advised against using it as it might cause damage to the integrity of the data used to load gdm.

First I tried browsing to a PDF file using Nautilus, right clicking on a PDF file, selecting properties, open with, and then changing the radio button.
