Password Construction

Could someone please help, I am new to unix and I am trying to do the following:

o Each password must have at least eight characters.
Only the first eight characters are significant.
PASSLENGTH is found in /etc/default/passwd and is set
to 6.

o Each password must contain at least two alphabetic
characters and at least one numeric or special char-
acter. In this case, "alphabetic" refers to all
upper or lower case letters.

o Each password must differ from the user's login name
and any reverse or circular shift of that login name.
For comparison purposes, an upper case letter and its
corresponding lower case letter are equivalent.

o New passwords must differ from the old by at least
three characters. For comparison purposes, an upper
case letter and its corresponding lower case letter
are equivalent.


How do I go about this, I am able to add the users, and manouver my way around.
