VMS Help Sys Parameters, LOAD_PWD_POLICY  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    LOAD_PWD_POLICY controls whether the SET PASSWORD command
    attempts to use site-specific password policy routines, which
    are contained in the shareable image SYS$LIBRARY:VMS$PASSWORD_
    POLICY.EXE. The default is 0, which indicates not to use policy
    routines.
