I tryed to enable minimum password age to prevent users from changeing their passwords too often (I really need this), but this does not work, passwd changes password as it was before I set limits. [maxcom@cave maxcom]$ chage -l maxcom Minimum: 7 Maximum: 31 Warning: 7 Inactive: 35 Last Change: Dec 18, 1999 Password Expires: Jan 18, 2000 Password Inactive: Feb 22, 2000 Account Expires: Never [maxcom@cave maxcom]$ cat /etc/pam.d/passwd #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok md5 account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 password required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so use_authtok md5 shadow I seems that passwd does not tryes to verify password minimum change time at all.
