I am using RHEL 3<br />
I tried to implement the password complexity to my server by using the following entry in /etc/pam.d/system-auth<br />
password &nbsp; &nbsp;required &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;/lib/security/$ISA/pam_cra<wbr />cklib.so retry=3 minlen=8 dcredit=-1 ucredit=-1 lcredit=-1 ocredit=-1 difok=2<br />
<br />
However, it seems not taking any effect.<br />
I tried by making change on my 'root' password by following command:<br />
# passwd<br />
I still can change the password to a simple one such as 'abc'
