/etc/default/security

Systems Department — Fri, 20 Jul 2001 10:17:58 GMT

Can anyone post a sample /etc/default/security file.
I have converted my system to trusted but there is no /etc/default/security file and I need a sample one to be able to create one.

Many thanks, Graeme.

PASSWORD_HISTORY_DEPTH=n
where n is an integer from 1 to 10, specifying the number of previous passwords to check. If n is less than 1, or the entry is missing, it defaults to 1; if n is greater than 10, it defaults to 10.

Above are few lines from the link specified by Vincenzo

If you have HPUX 11i, or HPUX 11 patched to December 2000 or beyond, you have several more enhancements you can put in the /etc/default/security file, probably the most useful is MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH

More information can be got from the HPUX 11i manual page at:
