password & special characters
I am running 11.11 os on a non-trusted system.
Is there anyway of disabling having to have special characters in the password?
I have create /etc/default/security and have the PASSWORD_MIN_SPECIAL_CHARS set to 0 or N.
Cheers
Darren

Re: password & special characters
There is a note in the man page:
Note: These parameters apply only if the libpam_unix patch PHCO_24606 or later is installed.
Is PHCO_24606 or later installed?

Re: password & special characters
I have the latest patch installed.
I would have thought this meant that I didnt have to have users use special characters.
Any further suggestions
# more /etc/default/security
PASSWORD_MIN_SPECIAL_CHARS=0
MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH=0
Thanks
Darren

Re: password & special characters
Its not that you want users should not be allowed to use special characters but that user of special characters should not be compulsory.
Then whatever you have mentioned is correct.
Also check the patch as mentioned above.
