Subj:		UNIX Password reuse enhansement

From:		Phil Edelsberg

I've been tasked to see if I can make all our UNIX nodes (including APP nodes) adhere to:

You may not use your last five passwords.

I looked at the man pages regarding /etc/default/passwd , but it doesn't say anything about this.

Does anyone know how this can be implemented?

Do I need to use the Commercial Security Package (csp) or Multi-Level Security (mls) ? If so, where can I find documentation on them? I've looked at info.ncr.com and all I've found is some info on installing these packages, but no detailed description of functionality.

Thanks in advance.
