How to configure password policies  
Hello,
in the SDP7.0 documentation of the 'passwd' tool it is written, that
"Depending on the password rules that the system administrator has set, passwd may require that you enter a password of 
a certain length or one that contains certain elements (such as a combination of letters, numbers, and punctuation) [...
]"

How can I configure such password rules?
The only thing to be found in the documentation is the file "/etc/default/passwd", where I can set NOPASSWORDOK, 
STRICTPASSWORD and QNXCRYPT. But these parameters are by far not enough to achieve the rules mentioned in the passwd 
documentation. How can this be achieved?

Regards,
Michael.
