.Can someone explain the min= n0,N1,N2,N3,N4 parameters of pam_passwdqc?
.I set them to be 
.pam_passwdqc min=disabled,24,24,8,8 passphrase=0 and expected that to
be
.
.passwords cannot be only 1 class,
.passphrases or not to be used,
.if 2 classes are used they must be 24 characters,
.if 3 classes are used they must be 8 characters
.if 4 classes are used they must be 8 characters.

.When I test it, it allows me to use a password like "abcdefgh".

.How are these Nn parameters used?

.Thanks,
