set up password change regularly with certain rules

[Soo-Hyun Choi]

Thanks Chris to reply my enquiry.

I wonder how can I force a user to use complex password set instead of
simple character combination. I was able to force them to change their
password regularly with "passwd" command, but was not able to set a sort of
rules in making a password.
