Re: /etc/default/security

The man pages hold the information for these. Beware that there are a number of patches that you also need to install for the 10.20 version.

The patch in question is PHCO_24267 plus any dependancies. Be aware that the 10.20 version of the OS will not be patching any further, the last being December 2001.

Re: /etc/default/security

I am fairly sure you need to set this variable to at least:

MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH=6

for it to work. Have you also looked at the options of what 'sam' has to offer?

Micheal,

To my knowledge,this feature was introduced on HP11.0

I am not sure about 10.20??
