[gentoo-user] password rules

[Raul Gonzales]

Hi all,

I would like to set some rules for user passwords like minimum length,
password must contain a digit, special character, upper and lower letters,
etc. but have not found a way  yet how to do it. Do I need some special
addon or is this configurable in base system?

Thanks,
Raul

man pam_cracklib

and adjust /etc/pam.d/system-auth to suit
