aging parameters does not work
i want to set the force aging for a user, but i am getting the following error.
vinay_root # passwd -x 0 sunita
Changing password for vinay
New password:

Re: aging parameters does not work
http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90690/passwd.1.html
from 11v1 and up shows the x option used as:
password -r files -x o sunita
I believe at 11.0 and prior is as you noted it.
note that you are attempting to set the elapsed time that a password can remain unchanged, which I believe *means* never expire....
What OS and exactly what are you trying to accomplish?
if you want to force user to change password at next login, take a look at "-f" as in
passwd -r files -n 14 -w 7 -x 56 -f sunita
should force sunita to change password at next login, make him/her wait 2 weeks before changing it again, require that it be changed in the next 8 weeks, and begin warning that the password will expire 7 days befor it does.
note that the 14, 7 and 56 will be changed to weeks (divided by 7) prior to being used.
none of this applies to trusted systems.

Re: aging parameters does not work
-x max ------- Determine the maximum number of days, max, a password can remain unchanged. The user must enter another password after that number of days has transpired, known as the password expiration time. If the -f option was used in a previous invocation of passwd(1) to immediately expire a password, the effect of -f is cancelled; the password will not expire until max days. The effect of -f is not cancelled if -x and -f are specified on the same command line or if the system has been converted to a trusted system.
Plz suggest.

Re: aging parameters does not work
passwd -sa to see current status
passwd -x and -y set the maximum and minimum number of days to next password change.
If you set these figures to zero, that should stop password aging.
run passwd -sa after to be sure.
You might try using sam menu to change the behavior and checking the sam log for what command did the job, because passwd -x 0 should do the job.

Re: aging parameters does not work
ok, I missed the part where it's asking you to change *your* password.
you need to be root, su'd to root, or whatever. a non-root user doesn't have the necessary authority

Re: aging parameters does not work
"vinay_root # passwd -x 0 sunita
Changing password for vinay
New password:
vinay_root #"
maybe that tells you that you are "root"....but it certainly isn't obvious to the casual observer....i'd have guessed that you *might* have been either "vinjay" or "vinjay_root"......
"i sorted it out. i just copied the passwd file from other server in /usr/bin and it worked out. "
which implies that somebody had replaced the real passwd executable with some kind of wrapper script (maybe)....
