does password history exist in Linux 2.4.21-32/RedHat AS 3

does password history exist in Linux 2.4.21-32/RedHat AS 3

straight yes or no required:

does standard redhat ("out of the box") AS 3 have any password history
available?

e.g. my password is wh2tlL, I change it later to osh6yfdh, then try to
change it back to wh2tlL and it rejects the attempt because wh2tlL was
already used within mt last 6 (or whatever) passwords.

??

TIA

Available, yes. Are you running Kerberos?

thanks Nico - I have found a solution now as it happens but your time
spent in answering is appreciated.
