I absolutely know how to do this in python but give us some more info as to what password you are attempting to validate, what language you are trying to use, what you have attempted so far etc...

Also, user's login to what, exactly? And what do you mean by "validation" in this context? (Be specific.)

For instance, if you're referring to shell user logins, you can enforce password length with one of a couple handy PAM modules.
