Michael,

Those restrictions can be set up in /etc/default/security. Try doing a man on "security".

Hi Michael,

That's the default behaviour: see "man passwd"

Best Regards,

See man page for passwd.1

Just open file as,
/etc/default/security

and put the informations on that and save that file. Some time the file will not be there.

Attachment contains security man page 4.

We can not manage user based one .. It will be for every one there when changing passwd.
