I have an SL5.2 system and I would like to make a couple of configuration changes, but my old tricks don't seem to work anymore. 1) I would like to reconfigure the system-auth file in pam.d to do password checking using pam_passwdqc rather than cracklib and to make the password changes on the nis server rather than locally. For SL4 and before, I used to do this by editing the system-auth file and changing entries as follows: password required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_passwdqc.so min=disabled,disabled,disabled,disabled,8 password sufficient /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5 shadow nis Now, for SL5.2, I see that there is a comment at the start of the the system-auth file that says it is auto-generated, so any changes I make in the file itself will be lost. So how do I get these changes into system-auth? 2) Whenever I added new style files to the tex installation, I would use "texconfig rehash" to update /usr/share/texmf/ls-R and /var/lib/texmf/ls-R Now for SL5.2, the texconfig command is gone. What do I do instead? Are these kinds of changes documented somewhere, so I can look up what to do in the future?
