/etc/default/security
Hi,
With a NON-trusted system, we want to setup password aging. We will edit the /etc/default/security file. What my question is, will this affect current users or just new users created? Like if we have a bunch of users with no expiry and we add an expiry of 90 days to /etc/default/security, will those users all expire at their next login?
Thanks,
Sally

Re: /etc/default/security
Hi,
The 'security' manpage reads the following:
"This value, if specified, is used by the authentication subsystem during the password change process in the case where aging restrictions do not already exist for the given user."
Source: http://nixdoc.net/man-pages/HP-UX/man4/security.4.html
So to me it seems that password aging will only be applied after a user's password has been changed...
Hope that helps...

Re: /etc/default/security
Hi,
If you wish to enable password aging for existing users , you can edit /etc/shadow
e.g entry should look like below
casqa:gy76vCMHvwHLk:14623:7:91:7:::
where
7 ---> min days before a user can change password
91 ---> max days
7 ---> warn days
Then confirm it by running
' passwd -sa '
The output should look somthing like
casqa PS 01/14/10 7 91 7
