There is an OEM extension to do this for the C6220. I added it as an option in FreeIPMI's ipmi-oem tool, but the raw commands to set the password policy check are: 0x30 0x51 0x01|0x00 the last byte is enable (0x01) or disable (0x00) Unfortunately, there is no "get" equivalent command, which I've harassed Dell about.
