Restrict Policies in /etc/default/security

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom,

trusted system is great, I like to use it but you should be informed that it is last placed in 11.31.

It has been declared obsolete and will in the future be replaced by other tools. Shadow password might be a better option for compatibility with future versions of HP-UX

Please someone tell me how do I bypass this settings in security file.

PASSWORD_MIN_UPPER_CASE_CHARS=1
PASSWORD_MIN_LOWER_CASE_CHARS=1
PASSWORD_MIN_DIGIT_CHARS=1
PASSWORD_MIN_SPECIAL_CHARS=1

i want to keep a simple password like abc12345 for system admins.

Why would you want to do that? If anything the system admins passwords should be more complicated. They should lead by example, especially when it comes to passwords.

I don't think there is a way to bypass the rules in /etc/default/security. I think they are completely separate from any trusted system settings and apply to ALL users on the system, no matter what.

Cant you simply copy the password hash from a box with a known simple password?
