 NNETPWLEN()
 Sets or determines the minimum password length
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax
     NNETPWLEN(<cUser>,[<nNumber>],[<cServer>|<nConId>)
        --> nPassLen
     Netware: 2.2 and 3.11
 Arguments
     <cUser>  Designates the name of the user whose minimum password
     length is set or determined.
     <nNumber>  Designates the new minimum password length for <cUser>.
     <cServer>  Designates the name of the file server to which <cUser>
     has access.  Your workstation must be attached to <cServer>.
     <nConId>  Designates the connection ID of your workstation on
     <cServer>.
 Returns
     NNETPWLEN() returns the currently valid minimum password length for
     <cUser>.  If a value has been passed for <nNumber> and the return value
     does not match <nNumber>, the requesting user did not have the rights
     for the modification.
 Description
     NOVELL NET PASSWORD LENGTH
     NNETPWLEN() allows you to set or determine the minimum password length
     for <cUser>.  To query the minimum password length, do not pass a value
     for <nNumber>.  If <nNumber> contains a numeric value, NNETPWLEN() tries
     to set this value as new minimum password length.  Supervisor rights on
     the related file server are required to modify the password length.
     With <nNumber> equal to 0, a previously set password length can be
     removed.  In this case, a password for <cUser> is not required.
     With the parameters <cServer> or <nConId>, the password length for users
     on any attached file server can be changed.  The connection ID of a file
     server is returned by NNETATTACH() or NNETLOGIN().
 Examples
     .  Determine the minimum password length for user MIKE:
        ? NNETPWLEN('MIKE')               // For example 5
     .  Set the new minimum password length for user MIKE:
        NNETPWLEN('MIKE',8)
     .  Remove the limit of the password length for user MIKE:
        NNETPWLEN("MIKE",0)
