We have a similar requirement for our non-prod LDAP logins- of  
course, i just change my password 7 times, the 7th being back to the  
original one :)

Our prod servers are managed by IBM in raleigh, and we can't re-use a  
password for 120 days. What sucks is I've got about 85 LPARs on  
different p570s that I have accounts on, and keeping track of  
passwords is a bitch.
