PASSLENGTH on Irix
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.

Have you set up the password as root user.
If yes, then the entries in /etc/default/passwd for PASSLENGTH would make no difference to root user. Try changing password as a normal user.
