It is the HP-UX 11i section 4 manual which does contain the entry for 'security'. I could not find the entry online in the 11.0 manuals or on some of my 11.0 systems.

Re: parameter passwd
PHCO_27797 and PHCO_24390 or equivalents.
Quoting from the patch doc file:
A site's security policies sometimes require new passwords
to contain specific numbers or types of characters, such as
at least two digits and at least one special character.
Resolution:
In addition to the standard password requirements,
optional entries in the file /etc/default/security specify
the minimum number of required characters of each type
(upper case characters, lower case characters, digits
and special characters) in a new password.
PASSWORD_MIN_UPPER_CASE_CHARS=N
PASSWORD_MIN_LOWER_CASE_CHARS=N
PASSWORD_MIN_DIGIT_CHARS=N
PASSWORD_MIN_SPECIAL_CHARS=N
The default value for N is 0. These parameters have
effect only when a password is changed. On untrusted
systems, these parameters do not apply to the root user.
The file /etc/default/security should be owned by root and
have 0644 permissions.
As an example, to require passwords at least 8 characters
long, composed of at least 5 upper case characters, 2
lower case characters and a digit, include the following
lines in /etc/default/security, as specified above:
PASSWORD_MIN_UPPER_CASE_CHARS=5
PASSWORD_MIN_LOWER_CASE_CHARS=2
PASSWORD_MIN_DIGIT_CHARS=1
