My server is running and I have modified /etc/pam.d/common-password. When certain programs are installed or there are system updates, it needs to update that file so it asks me if I want to the file should be overwritten or not.
One or more of the files /etc/pam.d/common-{auth,account,password,session} have been locally modified. Please indicate whether these local changes should be overridden using the system-provided configuration. If you decline this option, you will need to manage your system's authentication configuration by hand.
Override local changes to /etc/pam.d/common-*?
Is it possible to put my changes in another file that pam will still use so that I don't have to deal with this message in the future?
If it helps, I am changing the line:
password requisite pam_pwquality.so retry=3
To this:
password requisite pam_pwquality.so retry=3 minlen=10 difok=3 ucredit=-1 lcredit=-1 dcredit=-1 ocredit=-1 maxrepeat=3 gecoschec
