Inactivity settings for users

Lee TL — Tue, 06 Jan 2004 20:40:12 GMT

I would like to know the parameter in password database to set for inactivity period. When I view the MAN pages for prpwd, the parameter should be max_u_llogin. However, when I set the inactivity period using SAM, it sets another parameter, u_llogin. According to the MAN pages of modprpw, u_llogin sets the last login time interval, which does not seems to be the right parameter to set. Please advise and thanks.

Hi,
I had a look and the man pages are really confusing.
But i am very sure the parameter is u_llogin, thats the one that is set when you enable the enactivity time for a user, i am sure, because i am using it, but never bothered to check the man pages, which is confusing me too.
