Default How do I prevent the normal users creating alphabetic password

Dear Colleques,

How do I restrict the normal users to create their password should contain alphabetic with numeric or with special characters?

That is, the user should not create the password only with alphabets. If they, type it, it won't accept it and should prompt again for new password.

Please any one help me out!!

Thank you.

Linux check passwords against a dictionary attack

Use combination of PAM and crack lib.
