How to disallow 10 most recent passwords from being used for X number of days?
Issue
- We need to set up password history requirements on our servers so users cannot reuse their 10 most recent passwords for at least 90 days. We found the "remember=N" option in the pam_unix.so module which will enforce the number of passwords criteria. Is there some way to also enforce the 90 day criteria?
