Do you know that each individual user has got their MINLEN set?
Unless you specify it upon user creation the default will be used.
Verify this by looking in /etc/security/user (I think - off the top of
my head). If it's not that file, it's one of them in /etc/security.

If they are all using the default (all the stuff in the "default:"
stanza at the top), you can change this.

The change will not force a password change on next login, but will be
applied when their password expires.

Thanks
