Dear Steve! I know, it is hard to get a proper documentation on the paramters in /etc/pam.d/common-password, but according to what I found, for example here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/user-management.html the max= switch should do EAXACTLY what I described above, and what you described should be accomplished by the maxlen= parameter. I therefore kindly ask you to get your facts straight and to reopen the prematurely dismissed thread. Thanks in advance and your's, firebug -- changing pwd strength criteria in /etc/pam.d/common.password takes no effect at all https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/671332 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
