RE: Password Complexity in Linux

[Andrew Elliott <Andrew.Elliott@xxxxxxxx>]

Last 4 passwords should not be used is set in pam_unix.so like so:

Password	sufficient	/lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so remember=4


Does anyone know where pam saves the previous passwords??  I can't find it
(yes, I've tried /etc/security/opasswd thanks)..
