Subject: Where to find pam_unix documentation?


 Hey *, I'm trying to do something fairly simple.  On a 4.6
 Release box I would like to force all users to choose passwords
 over a certain length and of a certain complexity.  Now before
 anyone jumps and says to edit /etc/login.conf, please note that
 I tried that and it did not work.  I don't want to get into too
 much detail there because my req's that management handed down
 go beyond the stated abilities there anyway; I need PAM.

 So basically from the docs here:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/pam/pam-freebsd-modules.html
 I gather that the module I need is pam_unix, but when I look for
 the man page...nothing.  I've spent about an hour on google now
 also and found plenty of developers and admins talking about
 using it, but nothing resembling a man page or even a how-to.

 Specifically I need to enforce the use of a mix of alphanumeric
 and special chars, a minimum length, passwd expiration (with
 forewarning preferably), passwd history, and account lockouts.
 Note: I will gladly RTFM.  Muchas thnx.
According to man -w pam_unix it is located in
/usr/share/man/man8/pam_unix.8.gz.
I am using freeBSD 5.1.x

Didja check freeBSD's site?
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/pam/pam-freebsd-modules.html

Or go here (Once you get there be sure to change the OS version to match
yours)
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pam_unixapropos=0sektion=8manpath=FreeBSD+4.8-RELEASEformat=html

For a (I found one on google) How to (or so the article claims)
http://www.wlug.org.nz/HowToUserAuthenticationHOWTO

Here's a How To for Apache and mod_auth_pam

http://www.linuxvalley.it/encyclopedia/ldp/howto/HOWTO/User-Authentication-HOWTO/x302.html

Here's some simple stuff from Red Hat

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/ref-guide/s1-pam-samples.html

Dunno what you were searching on but hope this helps.
