Removing Password Aging from the command line

Wondering if it is possible to remove password aging from the command line, instead of through sam.

Thanks

Hi,

To disable passwd aging for a specific user from command line, try,

# passwd -n 0 -x 0 username

It may force the user to change his / her password at the next login attempt.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I tried that just before your response. It worked.
