2 # /etc/pam.d/common-password - password-related modules common to all services
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.
8 # Explanation of pam_unix options:
10 # The "sha512" option enables salted SHA512 passwords. Without this option,
11 # the default is Unix crypt. Prior releases used the option "md5".
13 # The "obscure" option replaces the old `OBSCURE_CHECKS_ENAB' option in
16 # See the pam_unix manpage for other options.
18 # here are the per-package modules (the "Primary" block)
19 password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so obscure sha512
20 # here's the fallback if no module succeeds
21 password 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
25 password required pam_permit.so
26 # and here are more per-package modules (the "Additional" block)
27 password optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
