If other people than you are using your system, you probably want to make sure they use a fairly secure password. Here is the way to make sure the password has a certain length.

you may change the length values in this file : /etc/pam.d/common-password

password        [success=1 default=ignore]      pam_unix.so obscure sha512 min=8 max=16
