No the encryption algorithm is not going to be the same as any Unix based
system.

I would think that if you're writing a custom application you could force
the users to execute sp_password
at the same interval as the Unix system. But, if the users are simply
using Query Analyser and the other SQL tools,
there's no way to force this.

Yukon, the next release may address password policy enforcement that would
resolve issues like this.

Thanks,
