Hi,

    I am having issues with enforcing the password complexity rules 
    if the following actions are taken:

       - After logging in with a non-root user on a Solaris 10 server,
and then forcing the user's password 
         to expire so that that it has change it on the next login (
passwd -f "username") 

       - logging out
  
       - and then logging back as the same user, prompts to change to a
new password.
     
             -- at this point, any password can be entered without
enforcing any of  
                the complexity rules
 
    After reviewing the gdm archives, I understand that gdm is just a
pass-through for the 
    username/password combo and pam.conf is the configuration file for
setting the password 
    complexity. 
  
    Is there a setting in gdm.conf to utilize the pam.conf settings or
is this an issue which 
    needs to be addressed.
 
    Please Advice,


Thanks,

Kamal
