Ok, just to be clear, this is NOT just a documentation bug. As I have said above (although not very clearly), the "min" option to pam_unix does not work. I can have it set to 8 and still add new users with 6 character passwords. While I do agree with you that the "minlen" option to pam_cracklib is confusing and needs better documentation, there still seems to be a bug in the code of pam_unix that prevents the "min" option from working. I have seen this behavior on both Hardy and Gutsy.
Thanks again for your attention to this.
