Subject: Owl-current 2003/11/03 ISO image / CDs available; pam_passwdqc 0.7.5
Hi,
As Openwall GNU/*/Linux (Owl) is approaching a new release, I have
started generating ISO images of the current branch snapshots. The
latest snapshot dated 2003/11/03 is also available with the CD orders
you may place off the web page:
http://www.openwall.com/Owl/orders.shtml
Alternatively, it may be downloaded from /pub/Owl/current/iso/ on the
FTP mirrors listed at:
http://www.openwall.com/Owl/DOWNLOAD.shtml
This is the first Owl ISO image / CD to officially use Linux 2.4.x
kernels (2.4.22-ow1 currently). Linux 2.2.x remains supported too.
On another topic, there's a new version of pam_passwdqc, the password
strength checking PAM module. pam_passwdqc 0.7.5 will now assume
invocation by root only if both the UID is 0 and the PAM service name
is "passwd"; this should fix changing expired passwords on Solaris
and HP-UX and make "enforce=users" safe. The proper English
explanations of requirements for strong passwords will now be
generated for a wider variety of possible settings. pam_passwdqc is
available at:
http://www.openwall.com/passwdqc/
Of course, this new version of pam_passwdqc is also a part of the
Owl-current snapshot above.
