Yep, = $ LANG=C date -r `pw showuser | cut -d: -f 6` Tue Jan 20 00:00:00 MSK 2009 $ LANG=C date -r `pw showuser | cut -d: -f 7` Sat Feb 28 00:00:00 MSK 2009 > 2.

Any ways to prevent user reuse old password? man pam_passwdqc, search for the 'match' and 'similar'. But for the '3.': user still can change his password to something and immediately bounce back to the old password. The longer password history changes the chain length, but does not solve the problem completely. The complete password history can help, but it is out of the passwdqc's scope: it just checks against the current password. -- Eygene ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: password againg and other policy enforcement
Thanks for reply. pam_passwdqc has feature to enforce min password length, and the combination. Also it can check the similarity with the current and new password. But tools to check when users password will expire is missing. Also it cannot keep password history (password that the user had used). The user can use password A, then user change to password B and then change back to password A...

Have a look at /etc/pam.d You will find a file called passwd Edit it and uncomment the line: passwordrequisite pam_passwdqc.so Change the options you require per the manual page (man 8 pam_passwdqc) A lot of restrictions can be placed on the password (history, complexity, number of chars / symbols and so on).
