Configuring PAM to remember the ten latest passwords used was a breeze on SLES8. You just add this entry to /etc/security/pam_pwcheck.conf: "password: nullok use_cracklib remember=10" and previously used passwords will be listed in /etc/security/opasswd. SLES-security-guide-EAL3.pdf (SLES Security Guide, by Klaus Weidner) covers setup thoroughly.
However, I have had no success configuring this on SLES7. I'm not sure SLES7 in even supported. For starters, there's no /etc/security/pam_pwcheck.conf file. OS = Suse SLES7 Kernel: 2.4.7-SuSE-SMP RPM package= pam-0.74-34 Any pointers on this?
