Configure passwd
 
I am having truble setting up /etc/passwd to have requirements for user passwords (like minimum 5 characters and at least two numbers). Please help!

You need to adjust /etc/login.defs, so the line you're looking for there starts with PASS_MIN_LEN

Remember though shorter passwords are less secure ...

Is there any way to make it require at least 2 numbers and at least on capital letter? Also, can you have it lock out the user with 5 bad attempts?
