Re: gdm login problem
There is nothing in /etc/pam.d/gdm about cracklib. Also lib-cracklib
isn't installed anyway.
In the files
gdm
password required pam_unix_passwd.so shadow
login
password required pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=4 max=8
ssh
password required pam_unix.so
pam_unix_password.so is a link to pam_unix.so
It's puzzling why gdm is doing this, but now the user has a better
password.
