Solaris password requirements not enforced

Hi,

The Solaris password requirements like
a. no empty password
b. minimum 6 chars
etc for a regualr user are not enforced when a password expired user is
changing password at the SSH login prompt.

The version of openSSH I am using is 3.8.1 and Solaris 8 is where the
sshd is running.

Is anybody aware of this problem?
Is there some configuration option I can use to enforce these password
requirements?

If its  a bug, is there a patch already?

I appreciate any help on this.

Thanks
Srini
