Great, but:

1.  My users have to work on the shell because, they run a C++ scritp to
work in tha database..
2. So I want to force my users to pick a strong password.. Is there some
command, tool to do this?

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