Passwrod restriction standards

[Brian Miller_1]

Is it possible to set server wide password format restriction standards, to require passwords to contain specific characters. i.e., UPPERCASE, lowercase, numeric, etc. and if so, how?

thanks!

Nothing more than the rules in converting to a trusted system:

like
User-generated passwords A password screening option checks user-generated passwords again the dictionary and checks for the use of login names, login name permutations, and repeated characters.


System-generated passwords (alphabetic) You can have the system generate passwords using alphabetic characters only.


System-generated passwords (alphanumeric) You can have the system generate passwords using alphabetic, numeric, and punctuation characters.


System-generated passwords (English phrases) You can have the system generate passwords using alphabetic characters only.
You can set these options for your HP-UX system or for specific users.
