additional password requirements

[Mink]

We have all HP-UX Systems 11i trusted.
Next time we have additional password requirements. How can I fulfil this:
1. A character must not be repeated more
than 4 times in the password
2. Not contain all or part of the user's
account name

Hi:

Have a look at the 'etc/default/security' configuration file. You will need to create one accordingly. See the manpages for its definition and options.

Hi Mink,

Check this doc from the itrc database.

Customised PERL script or something like that. Exact requirements of yours can not be done with built in tools-/etc/security file and trusted password policies.

Hi Mink,

I am posting when James wrote :-) I too am thinking about /etc/default/security file (man security). I tried to look for what you need but not sure if it is possible.

Please check in the security man page.

Good luck....

Best regards,
Fabio

Nope. You can not achieve with /etc/default/security file surely.

You are expecting a requirement like windows domain server password management.

You have to have a customized work around with script or pam module?

Thanks for all
With the standard HP-UX and Trusted functionality it's not possible to fulfil
the requirenments.
The tip with the plugable PAM modules is the
right way but this is not so easy.
