I'm trying to change password to simple (like '123'), it is
Posted: Thu Feb 19, 2015 6:04 pmim trying to enforce password policy for root user. My /etc/pam.d/system-auth file contains following lines:
#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
auth required pam_env.so
auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so
auth required pam_tally2.so deny=5 unlock_time=900
auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass
auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet
auth required pam_deny.so
account required pam_tally2.so
account required pam_unix.so
account sufficient pam_localuser.so
account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet
account required pam_permit.so
password requisite pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3 type= ucredit=-1 lcredit=-1 dcredit=-1 ocredit=-1 maxrepeat=3 \
reject_username enforce_for_root
password sufficient /lib64/security/pam_unix.so sha512 shadow nullok remember=5 use_authtok
password required pam_deny.so
session optional pam_keyinit.so revoke
session required pam_limits.so
session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet use_uid
session required pam_unix.so
It works for passwd command, when I'm trying to change password to simple (like '123'), it is not accepting password.
But when I'm trying to change it through GUI (gnome2, system-config-users utility) it only throws warnings about bad password complexity and I can apply weak password anyway.
How can I deny setting weak passwords through GUI?
