2# /etc/pam.d/common-password - password-related modules common to all services
3#
4# This file is included from other service-specific PAM config files,
5# and should contain a list of modules that define the services to be
6# used to change user passwords. The default is pam_unix.
7
8# Explanation of pam_unix options:
9#
10# The "sha512" option enables salted SHA512 passwords. Without this option,
11# the default is Unix crypt. Prior releases used the option "md5".
12#
13# The "obscure" option replaces the old `OBSCURE_CHECKS_ENAB' option in
14# login.defs.
15#
16# See the pam_unix manpage for other options.
17
18# here are the per-package modules (the "Primary" block)
19password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so obscure sha512
20# here's the fallback if no module succeeds
21password requisite pam_deny.so
22# prime the stack with a positive return value if there isn't one already;
23# this avoids us returning an error just because nothing sets a success code
24# since the modules above will each just jump around
25password required pam_permit.so
26# and here are more per-package modules (the "Additional" block)
