When I first read the requirements I immediately thought of giving users
access to the PASSWORD command.
But then I read it again the way Alfredo says you should (like a
love-letter).
The result was the following paragraph in my original posting:
> What management now want is for a user to be forced to change their
> password on a regular basis. Also, certain rules must be applied to
> the new password.
Rules include password must not be same a last n passwords and certain
words are not allowed.
