I've came across the last two lines in /etc/pam.d/passwd involving the cracklib.
I wanted to use it, but it says uncomment the next two lines.

#password required              pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=6 difok=3
#password required              pam_unix.so use_authtok md5

I'm wondering a few things, what does difok and use_authtok means, and if md5 
is there, won't that enable md5 passwords?
If so do I need to make new ones?

Thanks in advance
