  Hello, world,

The Solaris 2 password command has a specific problem: when run as root,
it doesn't check the usual password constraints.  I need a version
that does; preferably, tomorrow.  Can anybody suggest where to get this?

As far as I know now, getting a source code license (

  http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/edu/solaris/source.html

) and changing the relevant if() statement myself is the only option.
Is there an easier way?

After moving to the US or Germany, that is.

Well you could use the password replacement program "npasswd"
