How to change passwd policy?


Hi,

Does anyone know how I can go about changing the passwd policy in Linux?

I would like to change the minimum password length to 10 instead of 8 and also it must be in alpha-numeric form.

Have a look at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17487

There you will find how to change password policy in Red Hat alikes.
