Hi All,

I have a NIS server on HP-UX 11.11. I would like to change on user(or password) to non-expire account. It is not trusted system.

I need your suggesion.

Thanks in Advance

Shalom,

The best way to go is use sam. Or you can set the expiration days to zero with the passwd command.

See the an page for details.

Hi Shalom,
You can turn off password expiration of a existing user with the usermod -e command.

passwd -x 0 username

That's a zero

[Paul Sperry]

passwd -n 0 -x 0 username

That's a zero

Hi,
Use the command usermod -e for not to expire the password of the user. This -e option can be used with useradd command also.
The following command lists the default options with the useradd command:
# useradd -D
