Root password policy

Hello all

I've been reading some stuff concerning root passwords.

In the passwd command man page it is said that the root account can bypass the validations such as password length, number of alphabetic caracters, etc (defined in /etc/default/passwd file). I have installed Solaris 10 and it is true indeed.

However, I would like to know whether it is possible to make the root follow these policies when changing his own passwords and when changing other accounts' passwords. If it is, please tell me which files I should modify.

Thanks a lot
