Which configuration file has precedence over password length parameter 'PASS_MIN_LEN' ?
Issue
- Does PASS_MIN_LEN in /etc/login.defs have any effect? (to new and previously created users)
- If both values (PASS_MIN_LEN and minlen in pam_cracklib) are set, which of those will have to be set? Or it will have to comply with the most restrictive?
- The same questions but for Red Hat 4 and 6
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
