pam_cracklib.so 相关的 options

debug

This option makes the module write information to syslog(3) indicating the behavior of the module

(this option does not write password information to the log file).

authtok_type=XXX

The default action is for the module to use the following prompts when requesting passwords:

"New UNIX password: " and "Retype UNIX password: ".

The example word UNIX can be replaced with this option, by default it is empty.

retry=N

Prompt user at most N times before returning with error. The default is 1.

difok=N

This argument will change the default of 5 for the number of characters in the new password

that must not be present in the old password. In addition, if 1/2 of the characters in the new password are different

then the new password will be accepted anyway.

difignore=N

How many characters should the password have before difok will be ignored. The default is 23.

minlen=N

The minimum acceptable size for the new password (plus one if credits are not disabled which is the default).

In addition to the number of characters in the new password, credit (of +1 in length) is given for each different

kind of character (other, upper, lower and digit). The default for this parameter is 9 which is good for a old style

UNIX password all of the same type of character but may be too low to exploit the added security of a md5 system.

Note that there is a pair of length limits in Cracklib itself, a "way too short" limit of 4 which is hard coded in and

a defined limit (6) that will be checked without reference to minlen. If you want to allow passwords as short as 5 characters

you should not use this module.

dcredit=N

(N >= 0) This is the maximum credit for having digits in the new password. If you have less than or N digits,

each digit will count +1 towards meeting the current minlen value. The default for dcredit is 1 which is the

recommended value for minlen less than 10.

(N < 0) This is the minimum number of digits that must be met for a new password.

ucredit=N

(N >= 0) This is the maximum credit for having upper case letters in the new password.

If you have less than or N upper case letters each letter will count +1 towards meeting the current minlen value.

The default for ucredit is 1 which is the recommended value for minlen less than 10.

(N < 0) This is the minimum number of upper case letters that must be met for a new password.

lcredit=N

(N >= 0) This is the maximum credit for having lower case letters in the new password.

If you have less than or N lower case letters, each letter will count +1 towards meeting the current minlen value.

The default for lcredit is 1 which is the recommended value for minlen less than 10.

(N < 0) This is the minimum number of lower case letters that must be met for a new password.

ocredit=N

(N >= 0) This is the maximum credit for having other characters in the new password.

If you have less than or N other characters, each character will count +1 towards meeting the current minlen value.

The default for ocredit is 1 which is the recommended value for minlen less than 10.

(N < 0) This is the minimum number of other characters that must be met for a new password.

minclass=N

The minimum number of required classes of characters for the new password. The default number is zero.

The four classes are digits, upper and lower letters and other characters. The difference to the credit check is that

a specific class if of characters is not required. Instead N out of four of the classes are required.

maxrepeat=N

Reject passwords which contain more than N same consecutive characters.

The default is 0 which means that this check is disabled.

reject_username

Check whether the name of the user in straight or reversed form is contained in the new password.

If it is found the new password is rejected.

use_authtok

This argument is used to force the module to not prompt the user for a new password

but use the one provided by the previously stacked password module.

dictpath=/path/to/dict

Path to the cracklib dictionaries.
