Part of the problem that I haven't mentioned so far is that I don't know how to configure cracklib well. So, what ends up happening is that I have a hard time setting passwords that cracklib deems worthy. But that's more of a usage problem. I still like using PAM to control how different programs authenticate users. I don't always like having a strict password checker, though. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
