For standalone OS X clients I hope someone at Apple is aware that we
need help enforcing password aging and complexity rules. Password
aging is a feature that I used under SGI IRIX for many years and the
Linux guys say they can do it using PAM modules. Windows NT, 2000, XP
have long had support for both password aging and complexity
enforcement, I hate having to say we can't do that.
My first though would be to go to each machine and write done the first
five or so characters of the MD5 hash in NetInfo. That would cover
password aging and make me look like the bad guy as I report people for
not following the rules.

You probably mean in the client, but you can make this requirement if
the clients are authenticating against X Server with a password server
configured, even in 10.2.
Dunno how you force that in 10.2 or 10.3 client.

Hey there,
Is it possible to natively force all local passwords on 10.3 to be
strong -
ie 9-14 characters with complexity and non-repeat options?
