First of all make sure that you have file /etc/login.defs

It is content of shadow-utils package:

# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.6 (Final)

# rpm -qf /etc/login.defs
shadow-utils-4.0.17-18.el5

[root@myserver etc]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.4 (Final)
[root@myserver etc]# rpm -qf /etc/login.defs

On my test environment I see:

# ll /etc/login.defs
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1503 Mar 6 08:08 /etc/login.defs

# cat /etc/login.defs
# *REQUIRED*
# Directory where mailboxes reside, _or_ name of file, relative to the
# home directory. If you _do_ define both, MAIL_DIR takes precedence.
# QMAIL_DIR is for Qmail
#
#QMAIL_DIR Maildir
MAIL_DIR /var/spool/mail
#MAIL_FILE .mail

# Password aging controls:
#
# PASS_MAX_DAYS Maximum number of days a password may be used.
# PASS_MIN_DAYS Minimum number of days allowed between password changes.
# PASS_MIN_LEN Minimum acceptable password length.
# PASS_WARN_AGE Number of days warning given before a password expires.
#
PASS_MAX_DAYS 99999
PASS_MIN_DAYS 0
PASS_MIN_LEN 5

UID_MAX 60000

#
# If defined, this command is run when removing a user.
# It should remove any at/cron/print jobs etc. owned by
# the user to be removed (passed as the first argument).
#
#USERDEL_CMD /usr/sbin/userdel_local

#
# If useradd should create home directories for users by default
# On RH systems, we do. This option is overridden with the -m flag on
# useradd command line.
#
CREATE_HOME yes

# The permission mask is initialized to this value. If not specified,
# the permission mask will be initialized to 022.
UMASK 077

# This enables userdel to remove user groups if no members exist.
#
USERGROUPS_ENAB yes

# Use MD5 or DES to encrypt password? Red Hat use MD5 by default.
MD5_CRYPT_ENAB yes
