Dear FreeBsd gurus, I have a problem concerning users password and
authentication policies. The goal is
1)make freebsd to lock users after 3 unsuccessful login attempts,
2)force users to change their passwords every 90 days
I've done such changes in Linux distros, with various PAM modules.But in
Freebsd it seems that i need to use login.conf file.
I think you want PAM in FreeBSD also. Check
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/pam/index.html
Here I made
necessary changes in that file:
>>>>>>
default:\
.............
.............
............. :login-retries=1:\
:passwordtime=90d:\
:warnpassword=7d:\
:warnexpire=7d:\
>>>>>>>
Then I made the cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf , and everything went normal,
no error messages, but after adding a test user I see no changes in the
master.passwd file.
The fields which are reserved for password aging parameters are 0:0
test:$1$F9yf.PuK$xqIsGEgK3MexpPZ4UBav0.:1001:1001::0:0:User
&:/home/test:/bin/sh
And the locking point does not work either, e.g. no matter how many
times I input wrong password, I'm still able to login. :(
I cannot understand what I'm doing wrong, and what should be done solve
this issues? I'm not an expert Freebsd administration, so any comments
and suggestions are welcome.
