Re: [expert] Password issues

[Anthony Moulen]

Perhaps you could remove the pam.d passwd requirement to use cracklib.  I
would suggest you make a copy first of passwd entry in the pam.d folder,
then make your change, then try to set the password to some insecure.

After you finish setting the passwords put the cracklib back in place,
then users should be informed that you want them to reset their passwords.

They should now not be able to set the password to something against the
cracklib rules (this is assuming that the Samba integration supports
pam.d rejecting passwords).

Good luck.
