15 Thats a very open question. Try specifying how the users are going to change
16 their passwords and what type of authentication you are using. On the
17 assumption that you are talking about authentication using PAM, try reading
18 the man pages on pam_cracklib. Something like:
19 password required pam_cracklib.so difok=3 minlength=10 dcredit=2
20 ocredit=2
21
22 in your /etc/pam.d/system-auth should do the trick.
