Re: using PASSWORD_HISTORY_DEPTH
Unless you have a HUGE pile of users, 8 digit passwords are not going to fill up the root file system.

Re: using PASSWORD_HISTORY_DEPTH
On my DB servers with 5 users and DEPTH=10 and passwd change at 6 times a year I have 32k of histories.
A years worth ~= 6k per user ?
if that math is correct the even with 1000 users with 30day change requirements would only be about 12m, right ?
no worries.

Re: using PASSWORD_HISTORY_DEPTH
The biggest problem will be with your users which will be unhappy about not being able to bounce between a couple of favorite passwords. The space required is trivial. The reason it is commented out is like many options in the default security file (in the past, there was no file at all) is that the system administrator should make a conscious decision about security restrictions.
