MODPRPW Question

[rmueller58]

We are defining a policy to reset passwords for a particular group of users.

I've written a script that does the trick to expire the password, I want to set the password like to 120 days..

Which -m value do I use to Define the length of time a password is allow, and what can be done to force the change from that 120 day point?

while read UUNAME X
do
/usr/lbin/modprpw -e ${UUNAME}
done < /tmp/esupass2.txt

Hi:

See:

http://docs.hp.com/en/B3921-60631/passwd.4.html

...the section titled "Password Field" describes the age criteria for the "classic" '/etc/passwd' file.

Regards!

Looks like min time.
mintm=value

database u_minchg=(value*86400).

Set the minimum time interval between password changes (days). 0 = none. Same as non-trusted mode minimum time.

Shouldn't it be exptm=value

tingli,

Truthfully that looks like a better thing.
