[KLUG Members] PAM and password limit

[komal]

Hello

I am trying to rein the beast call PAM to control password selection by
user. However, so far I am not succeeding. I want users to use at least
password greater than eight characters. Below is the file system-auth which
is calls by passwd in Fedora core3. What changes I need to make to achieve
password control.

Thank you
