13.1.1 SunOS 4.1.X
13.1.1.3 Changing passwords
For root to change a user's password it's the same as creating one, as above. For a user to change their own password all they need to type is passwd. The program will then prompt for their old password and twice for their new one. The new password is required to be at least 5 characters long if combined upper/lower case letters are used, and 6 characters long otherwise.
