Password Security in Solaris 8
1. Mixture of upper and lower case letters
2. At least one number
3. At least one special character
4. no more than 2 repeated characters
5. not a variation of the username.
In HP-UX and AIX, we are able to do it, but Solaris does not have any way to limit the content of the password. The file "/etc/default/passwd" does allow us to limit password age and minimum length, but that is it.
