I would like to post 2 questions with regard to the subject above:
1. can we set the root password to no-expiry. I heard HP mention about C2 profile etc.
2. Is that true we can only set numbers and characters in numbers only for root password. we can't have @$ in our password.
i can't find any forum discussing about this. really hope to hear from you. many thanks in advance

Hello,
If you are talking about C2 security level,
then disabling password expiration for root
is not a good option.
Anyway, you can disable password expiration
per individual Unix account, including root.
About valid characters for passwords:
Avoid password characters which have special
meaning to the tty driver, such as # (erase)
and @ (kill). You may not be able to login
with these characters (depends on your setting - check with "stty -a").
It is well documented in on-line manuals for
passwd.
If your tty settings are causing problems,
you may have to quote these special characters with "\".
Cheers,
VK2COT

Re: Password Best Practice for HPUX 11.23 and Constraint
Hi
>>can we set the root password to no-expiry. I heard HP mention about C2 profile etc
Yes you can, but modifying any attribute of root user handled very much carefully.
>>Is that true we can only set numbers and characters in numbers only for root password. we can't have @$ in our password.
Yes you can use #@$%& characters in your root password.
Go to http://docs.hp.com site.

Yes its true you can use special characters, but with some of the special characters you will not be able to login to the console.
