2descriptions of the options mentioned here.

5	Linux.

7Most modern Linux distributions use Linux-PAM with a password changing
8module which understands "use_authtok".  Thus, you may choose which
9module prompts for the old password, things should work either way.

12	FreeBSD.
13
14As of this writing (April 2002), FreeBSD-current is moving to OpenPAM
15which pam_passwdqc already includes support for.  The next step would
16be for FreeBSD to start actually using PAM from password changing.
17Once that becomes a reality, you should be able to use pam_passwdqc
18with FreeBSD.
19
20
21	Solaris.
22
23pam_passwdqc has to ask for the old password during the update phase.
24Use "ask_oldauthtok=update check_oldauthtok" with pam_passwdqc and
25"use_first_pass" with pam_unix.
26
27You will likely also need to set "max=8" in order to actually enforce
28not-so-weak passwords with the obsolete "traditional" crypt(3) hashes
29that most Solaris systems use.  Of course this way you only get about
30one third of the functionality of pam_passwdqc.
