Mmm ... I wonder why you would want to that ?
Anyway, I believe you can find the information at http://ctdp.tripod.com/os/linux/howlinuxworks/linux_hlshadow.html

Hi,
In this document you should find a reference to /etc/login.defs That's the only place I now of where you can change these parameters.
