Subject: pam_passwdqc and history

Quick question.  Does pam_passwdqc support password history?  Not just
comparing the current password to the new password, but seeing if it's
similar to, say, any of the last 3 passwords a user used?  Apparently
some government/company legislation/policies require history checking of
current-N passwords, and I'm wondering if passwdqc does this.

Thanks.
