#3589 Change: UsePAMInChpasswdNewusers
Closed: Accepted by decathorpe. Opened by alking.

Closed: Accepted
Reopen Issue

Enable PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) support for the chpasswd and newusers utilities. This ensures that these tools follow the system-wide authentication and password policies (such as password complexity, history, and auditing) defined in the Fedora PAM stack.

Owners, do not implement this work until the FESCo vote has explicitly ended.
The Fedora Program Manager will create a tracking bug in Bugzilla for this Change, which is your indication to proceed. See the FESCo ticket policy and the Changes policy for more information.

REMINDER: This ticket is for FESCo members to vote on the proposal. Further discussion should happen in the Discourse discussion linked above. Additional discussion may happen on the Fedora Devel mailing list.
