I have this issue. It asked me to change during the update, and I found
an answer that specifically spelled out:
Special char, some letters, some numbers
Since this does not fit into my password algorithm, I tried to change it
to something I could remember better, and no dice.
Under the covers in Yosemite, the password server had totally changed. I
am still trying to figure it out as I will soon be upgrading some
classified machines and will have very specific password requirements that
need to be applied.
When I have some spare time, I plan to investigate further and will report
back when I know more.
Of course, if anyone else has cracked this nut please let me know.
Pwpolicy is now depracated, and, even though I can read the policies as
they are stored using dscl, I cannot seem to get the right magic to change
the policy.
