Here is my question, I have a DataBase CentOS server working with about 150 users connected via ssh, so I want to set up for all users strongs passwords, I mean, 8 or more caracters, with ,.;* , ect....... Is there some option, bash command which do that?

The mkpasswd command included in the expect RPM can generate them for you. A little shell scripting will change the passwords for the users.
