Any easy way to implement password history - e.g. user can't re-use last X
passwords, where X is a configurable parameter?
After an IT audit, auditors were surprised this was not implemented in
SCO OpenServer (6.0/mp2)
If you want thorough such control, upgrade to an OS smart enough to use
Kerberos (which I'm not sure SCO has ever published), or use a Kerberized
master password server with an NIS back end for SCO clients. Oddly,
Solaris, Linux, and Active Directory from Windows can all do this. And
oddly, Solaris's NIS requires real hand-massaging to prevent from causing
system problems, even thogh Sun apparently invented it.
OSR 6.0.0 includes Kerberos.
