Accounts (password history): 2 controls for Linux hardening
Pavois audits 2 controls in the Accounts (password history) hardening domain, across 9 systems and 4 standards (CIS, ANSSI BP-028, NIST 800-53, PCI DSS). Every control declares the evidence it gathers, its severity, its remediation and its standard references.

What does Pavois check in this domain?
- persistent config 2
- Checked against the content of a persistent configuration file, the source of truth that survives reboots.
Which standards does this domain cover?
One effective-configuration check serves as evidence for several standards at once. The references below are the ones the corpus actually carries, never a claimed equivalence. how to read a standard mapping.
- CIS
- 5.3.3.3.1, 8.3.7
- ANSSI BP-028
- R31
- NIST 800-53
- 3.5.8, IA-5(1)(e), IA-5(f)
