yppasswd complexity requirements

[Starrena]

Hello,

How do I get yppasswd to use the same password complexity requirements I have set for passwd?

When I go to the NIS server and do passwd <username> it will only accept my password if I meet the complexity requirements (8 charact. alpha-numeric etc).

However, when I do yppasswd it does indeed update my password but does not enforce the complexity requirements I have set for passwd!

How can I resolve this?

Thanks!

Not a command I've ever used, but according to this you cannot set rules with ypasswd.

Note: The yppasswd command cannot establish rules for passwords as does the passwd command.

And according to this, you should use passwd -r nis instead.
