Is there a way to override the HP-UX password construction requirements that force a password to have at least 1 numeric character?
It'd be nice to allow just the root user to be able to do this. I've reviewed the options for the modprpw and modprdef commands as well as the /etc/default/security file, and see no options to override this setting.
Does anyone know if this is possible? Or, am I requesting something that defeats the purpose of converting to a trusted system in the first place...
Thanks.

Re: Changing password construction requirements on trusted system
User specifiable Attributes are:
password length,
whether alpha and numeric or not.
You can set the amount (in days) after which an account will become inactive due to nobody signing in .
The following command will unlock the account.
/usr/lbin/modprpw -k userid
HPUX 11i include man pages for modprpw, getprpw.
These pages are not available on 11.00.
search on www.docs.hp.com

Re: Changing password construction requirements on trusted system
It does not appear that modprpw has setting to override the requirement for 1 numeric character in a password, even if root is setting the account.
I modified the user's password setup with the modprpw command, and changed the following parameters to "NO":
rstprpw=NO
syspnpw=NO
syschpw=NO
sysltpw=NO
However, still when is issue "passwd testuser"
and attempt to set the password to "foobar", I get the response:
"Password must contain at least two alphabetic characters and at least one numeric or special character."
Any other ideas?
