Values / Definitions
 File is : /etc/default/passwd DICTIONDBDIR       The directory  where  the  generated dictionary    databases     reside. Defaults to /var/passwd.

If neither  DICTIONLIST  nor   DIC- TIONDBDIR is  specified, the system does not perform a dictionary check.

DICTIONLIST        DICTIONLIST  can  contain  list   of                             comma   separated  dictionary  files such as  DICTIONLIST=file1,  file2, file3. Each dictionary file contains multiple lines and each  line  con- sists of a word and a NEWLINE char- acter         (similar           to                             /usr/share/lib/dict/words.) You must specify full pathnames. The words from these  files are merged into a                             database that is used  to  determine whether a  password  is  based on a                             dictionary word.

If neither  DICTIONLIST  nor   DIC- TIONDBDIR is  specified, the system does not perform a dictionary check.

To pre-build the  dictionary  data- base, see mkpwdict(1M).

HISTORY            Maximum  number  of  prior  password history to keep for a user. Setting the HISTORY value to zero  (0),  or                             removing  the flag, causes the prior password history of all users to be                             discarded   at   the  next  password change by any user. The default  is                             not  to define the HISTORY flag. The maximum value is 26. Currently, this functionality is  enforced only for user accounts defined in the  files name         service         (local                             passwd(4)/shadow(4)).

MAXREPEATS         Maximum number of allowable consecu- tive repeating  characters. If MAX- REPEATS is not set or is zero  (0), the default is no checks

MAXWEEKS           Maximum time period that password is                             valid.

MINALPHA           Minimum number  of  alpha  character required. If MINALPHA  is not set, the default is 2.

MINDIFF            Minimum differences required between an old  and a new password. If MIN- DIFF is not set, the default is 3. MINDIGIT           Minimum number of  digits  required. If MINDIGIT is not set or is set to                             zero (0), the default is no  checks. You cannot  be  specify MINDIGIT if                             MINNONALPHA is also specified.

MINLOWER           Minimum number of lower case letters required. If not  set or zero (0), the default is no checks.

MINNONALPHA        Minimum number of non-alpha (includ-                             ing  numeric  and special) required. If MINNONALPHA  is  not  set,   the default is  1. You cannot specify MINNONALPHA if MINDIGIT or  MINSPE- CIAL is also specified.

MINWEEKS           Minimum time period before the pass- word can be changed.

MINSPECIAL         Minimum number of special (non-alpha                             and  non-digit) characters required. If MINSPECIAL is not set or is zero (0), the  default is no checks. You cannot specify  MINSPECIAL  if  you also specify MINNONALPHA.

MINUPPER           Minimum number of upper case letters required. If MINUPPER is not set or                            is  zero  (0),  the  default  is  no                             checks.

NAMECHECK          Enable/disable checking or the login name. The default  is  to do login name checking. A case  insensitive value of no disables this feature.

PASSLENGTH         Minimum length of password, in char- acters.

WARNWEEKS          Time period until warning of date of                             password's ensuing expiration.

WHITESPACE         Determine if white space  characters are  allowed  in  passwords. Valid values are YES and NO. If WHITESPACE is not  set or is set to YES, white space characters are allowed.
