Hello, Is it possible currently to enforce password rules like NT does when it comes to reuse of old passwords: A user is not allowed to re-use the same password or any of the previous n (=10?) old passwords. Currently when passwords must be changed in BSD it seems that passwd does not care if you reuse the same password that you had! If this is not currently supported, does anyone have suggestions about the right way to implement this? I am considering saving each user's n last encrypted passwords in a root-read-only database under /etc and testing new passwords against old in passwd.
