The man pages hold the information for these. Beware that there are a number of patches that you also need to install for the 10.20 version.

The patch in question is PHCO_24267 plus any dependancies. Be aware that the 10.20 version of the OS will not be patching any further, the last being December 2001.

didnt work.

does this mean that HPUX 10.20's MIN password length on trusted system mode cant be set?

I am fairly sure you need to set this variable to at least:

MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH=6

for it to work. Have you also looked at the options of what 'sam' has to offer?

Micheal,

To my knowledge,this feature was introduced on HP11.0

I am not sure about 10.20??
