Hi,

Could you confirm me that trusted sytem on HP UX will allow me to configure Password length and password construction (2 alpha, 2 numeric, 1 special character).

hi,

direct from Google: ;-)

quote
In trusted mode you have many options and much granularity as to how you
want to manage the passwords. go in to SAM and look at policies, you can
set things like; min. length, expir. time, lockout policy, alpha vs.
numeric entries, etc... There are a lot of things you can configure. As
I have posted in the past, MAKE SURE you are up to date w/ patches!

just to add:

There are tools around like PWplus which replace the passwd binary. Next to strong alpha/numeric/special requirement, they also do a dictionary check. (choosing a new password can become a real hell ;-)

regards,
Thierry.
