You will need to create this file if it doesn't exist. See the manpages for details:<BR /><BR /><A href="http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60127/security.4.html" target="_blank">http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60127/security.4.html</A><BR /><BR />Specifically see the 'MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH' and the 'PASSWORD_MAXDAYS'. For the MAXDAYS property, you can use 'passwd -x' to override the setting for a specific user(s).<BR /><BR />Regards!<BR /><BR />...JRF...
