Fix Recommendation

If "minlen" was not set at all in /etc/pam.d/common-password-vmware.local, run the following command:

# sed -i '/pam_cracklib.so/ s/$/ minlen=15/' /etc/pam.d/common-password-vmware.local

If "minlen" was set incorrectly then run the following command to set it to "15":

# sed -i '/pam_cracklib.so/ s/minlen=../minlen=15/' /etc/pam.d/common-password-vmware.local
