Subject: pwqcheck on OpenBSD and /etc/passwdqc.conf
It looks like pwqcheck on OpenBSD does not read /etc/passwdqc.conf or
/usr/local/etc/passwdqc.conf by default.
I'm not sure that it is even supposed to, but most of the
documentation suggests adding to /etc/login.conf default section:
":passwordcheck=/usr/local/bin/pwqcheck -1 :\"
Adding the "config=/path/" option does pick up the config settings
properly, i.e.:
" :passwordcheck=/usr/local/bin/pwqcheck -1 config=/etc/passwdqc.conf:\"
I took a look at the 1.2.2 source from the ports tree and didn't see
any references to /etc/passwdqc.conf other than in the makefile, but
it looks like that is just for the config file installation location.
Is pwqcheck supposed to read the /etc/passwdqc.conf by default? If
not I can suggest to the OpenBSD package maintainer to document the
need for the "config=" option in the login.conf settings.
Thanks,
-Tom
