I can understand how QPWDLMTCHR would be a little tough to implement into
QPWDRULES. The format is incompatible. In that case, however, they
should have not started ignoring it. They could have easily added a
*RQDDIFn where n is
0=Can be the same as old passwords
1=Cannot be the same as last 32
2=Cannot be the same as last 24
3=Cannot be the same as last 18
4=Cannot be the same as last 12
5=Cannot be the same as last 10
6=Cannot be the same as last 8
7=Cannot be the same as last 6
8=Cannot be the same as last 4
Or something more sensible, (like 4=4). And dropped QPWDRQDDIF, but they
didn't. Why drop something they didn't handle right here (without having
to delve into exit points) in QPWDLMTCHR yet not handle QPWDRQDDIF?
