If the pam_pwcheck.so module does not exist on your system, then you're
probably out of luck (unless you're willing to build it yourself from
source).  If it does exist, then try this:
   strings /path/to/pam_pwcheck.so | grep etc/
and see if anything interesting pops out.

Subject: Password authentication with PAM


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?
