    hi Guys

    I was using a guide to avoid for a user to use the previous password when I set to change password next time

    I am using this guide
    http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-linux-prevent-the-reuse-of-old-passwords.html

    it basically says I need to append this line
    Code:
    password sufficient pam_unix.so use_authtok md5 shadow remember=10
    to the file
    Code:
    /etc/pam.d/system-auth
    but it's not working

    users can still use previous password

    any idea guys?
