This collects 60 passwords. I suggest to go with the CIS default of 5 and make this the default argument for this policy. You can than override the policy with 60 for your needs.

What do you think if we also split this into multiple pieces as CIS DIL 5.3 is doing?

All controls that we are adding to the base line need to be applicable and tested on all major linux distributions.

Hi @chris-rock,
in dev-sec/ansible-collection-hardening there is currently no configuration of this for other distributions and I am not the Debian master that can create them. So I only change some code in dev-sec/ansible-collection-hardening and create the missing test in this repo.

Our code for PAM configuration on any non-RHEL based distribution is severely lacking.
I would propose to open an issue for this and going on with only RHEL support here.
