On systems running J06.11 and later J-series RVUs and H06.22 and later H-series RVUs,
the PASSWORD-SPECIALCHAR-REQUIRED attribute supports DES and HMAC256
password algorithms. Therefore, the PASSWORD-SPECIALCHAR-REQUIRED attribute
can be set to ON when PASSWORD-ENCRYPT is ON.

The PASSWORD-SPECIAL-CHAR-REQUIRED attribute will take effect only when the
PASSWORD-MIN-QUALITY-REQUIRED attribute is set to a value greater than 0.
