Ensure minimum password length is configured

AltaNivel 1Automatizadaaix

Descripción

The minimum password length setting determines the lowers number of characters that make up a password for a user account. There are many different theories about how to determine the best password length for an organization, but perhaps "passphrase" is a better term than "password". The minlen option sets the minimum acceptable size for the new password. Audit: reads `lssec -f /etc/security/user -s default -a minlen`.
