My first post here, and hopefully it will be one of many to come.

I am currently running multiple SGI's with different versions of Irix. I have a problem setting the minimum password length for users. I have modified the /etc/default/passwd so that

PASSLENGTH = 8

However, it still allows between 6 and 8 characters for the password. I must make it so that it only allows for 8 character passwords. Is there a simple solution? I apologize if this question is rather elementary, but I have found no help in any of my books or online. Thanks in advance for your help.
