We are turning on Enhanced security in tur64. How do we set the rules for passwords? We need alpha-numeric-alpha or something like that.
 
You'll have to create your own script using dxaccounts and edauth and there is no file, all the info is held in a database.

The user profile databases (sometimes referred to as the protected password database) reside in /tcb/files/auth.db and /var/tcb/files/auth.db. The /tcb/files/auth.db database contains information for UIDs from 0 to 99. The /var/tcb/files/auth.db database contains information for UIDs 100 and up.

All other databases reside in /etc/auth/system. These include: System default database of global (or template) values for users and devices. File control database Terminal control database Device assignment database

Files with extensions are in database format for efficiency.Others are ASCII files. All the databases can be manipulated by the edauth utility.

See man authcap
