Converting to trusted system

Could anybody explain me when converting the system in to trusted one via SAM, one of the options (that is recommended by HP to be used) under the User-Specified Password Attributes:
Use Restriction Rules.
How can I find out which rules are those ?
My second question is, under General User Account Policies there is an option to enable or disable (default) Lock Inactive Accounts.
What are the Inactive Accounts ? How can I unlocked once when they are locked ?
I'm sorry if this question are seems to be add, but I would like to know what is going to happen when I convert production computer.

Thank you,

Miro

Re: Converting to trusted system

User specified Attributes are: password length, whether alpha and numeric. You can set the amount (in days) that an account will become inactive due to nobody signing in or given a specific number of days. 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.

Hello

Password rules are those specified in SAM dialogs, i.e. minimum password length, password depth, password live time (aging), etc.
If your password is locked you will see lockout=0000100 in the output for /usr/lbin/getprpw user_name.
To unlock it use:
/usr/lbin/modprpw -k user_name

Hope this helps.
