Password policy problem ??

Hi Solaris's expert

I need to change user password on Solaris10 2 servers.
With the same password I can change it just only one.
Try to check everything but not found difference??

password pattern: abcdeFgh9Jk

server1 check all characters but server2 check only first 8 characters.Why??
I think solaris just check only first 8 char.

error msg on server2 ->> passwd: The first 8 characters of the password must contain at least 1 numeric or special character(s).
Anyone have any idea for this case?

File: /etc/default/passwd

Server0101 *** Change password success

MINALPHA=2
#MINDIFF=5
MINNONALPHA=1
#MINUPPER=0
#MINLOWER=2
#MAXREPEATS=2
WHITESPACE=YES
NAMECHECK=YES
DICTIONDBDIR=/var/passwd
DICTIONLIST=/usr/share/lib/dict/words
MINWEEKS=1
MAXWEEKS=9
WARNWEEKS=1
PASSLENGTH=8
=============

Server02 **** Cannot change password
HISTORY=3
MINALPHA=2
#MINDIFF=5
MINNONALPHA=1
#MINUPPER=0
#MINLOWER=2
#MAXREPEATS=2

DICTIONDBDIR=/var/passwd
DICTIONLIST=/usr/share/lib/dict/words
