Hi all,
I'm going to implement password complexity (minalpha, mindigit,
minupper, minlower, passlength and so on...) on my Solaris 9 system.
I've modified /etc/default/passwd file:

MAXWEEKS=
MINWEEKS=
PASSLENGTH=8
MINALPHA=4
MINDIGIT=2
MINLOWER=2
MINUPPER=1
MINDIFF=4

But it works fine only for password length, and seems to ignore the
other parameters. Why? Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance,

Geppox
