Oh - sorry, which version of Ubuntu are you running? I know that pam_unix's 'min' option is broken in versions prior to 0.99.7.1-4, which would affect Ubuntu 7.04 and earlier. That bug is definitely fixed for Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 LTS, however. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
