SSH and password aging

dungnt — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 05:17:50 GMT

My system is running on HP-UX 11.23 ia64. I configured password aging for all account on this system (the system is changed to trusted mode).

All account access to system using ssh protocol (I don't want use telnet).

But the password of accounts when expire, the system not warning. I don't know why?

Anyone know why, please help me, I want it will notificate to users before their passwords expire?

Regards!

Hello
I think you need to specify
PASSWORD_WARNDAYS optiono
You can go through
man passwd and man usermod.
Hope this help.

Thanks AwadheshPandey, Kapil Jha!

When I applied password policy, I configured using sam as your documents, all of settings is actived by sam. The system actually is trusted mode. And, I find that problem (ssh not warning before password expired).

But in security defaults configuration file, all of parameter related is still commented out as original hp-ux installed.

Are you have comment?
