Looks like it might be a component of Bastille.

Bastille is a good security hardening package that actually combines several products.

Not sure about PWPlus, it could be a security software in HP-UX. Searched docs.hp.com and software.hp.com, no results.

PWPlus is the tool developed by HP and used internally only to enforce their strict password formation rules. It actually is a calooection of tools, another one of which checks the passwords against a weak/crackable passwords dictionary and report to the account owners as well as security people.

If you are planning to find it for external to HP use, good luck but I don;t think you will succeed, as it was not a commercial package as of about 2 years ago.
