Disabling root password expiration

Scott Micciche — Thu, 13 Jan 2005 13:26:18 GMT

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the automatic password expiration for the root account? We are running HP-UX 11.0 in trusted mode (development only), but have a need for the password to non auto-expire. Thanks in advance for any help.

It is doing it from SAM.

From command line
/usr/lbin/modprpw -m exptm=0 root
man modprpw for details.

Hi Scott,

Try,

/usr/lbin/modprpw -m mintm=0,lftm=0,exptm=0,expwarn=0 root

Do have another session open as root, so that you can get out of trouble if there is a problem.

Hope this helps.
