Nothing that violates the pwquality rules:
The 7 rules listed in this URL seem utterly bizarre to me.
The first is "Don't use a palindrome" which makes me wonder if the author knows the meaning of this word. I suspect he/she thinks it means "a known word backwards".
Of the remaing 6 rules one is optional ("repeated characters") and 3 of the remaining 5 concern similarity to previous passwords.
Of the remaining 2, one is to avoid short passwords (unspecified), and the other to avoid one's username.
