Thats a very open question. Try specifying how the users are going to change 
their passwords and what type of authentication you are using. On the 
assumption that you are talking about authentication using PAM, try reading 
the man pages on pam_cracklib. Something like:
password            required pam_cracklib.so difok=3 minlength=10 dcredit=2 
ocredit=2

in your /etc/pam.d/system-auth should do the trick.
