Hi,
moving to trusted mode gives the possibility to enter the maximum password length.

Goodluck
Donald

If youre running a trusted system you can modify it with;

/usr/lbin/modprpw -m maxpwln=

Hi,

Unless the system is trused u can't enforce the max length for passwd.
Passwords can be greater than eight characters. The system administrator can specify the password length guidelines for the
system generated options (random syllables, random characters, and random letters). The actual maximum password length depends upon
several parameters set by the system administrator in the authentication database. System warnings are displayed if passwords lengths are either too long or short.

I'm curious (and very glad I'm not one of your users). How long do you want to make the password?
