/etc/default/security

Good Morning !!!

1. Can this file be created and used on HP-UX 11.0?

These are the options i want to use..

PASSWORD_HISTORY_DEPTH=4
MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH=6
PASSWORD_MIN_DIGIT_CHARS=1
PASSWORD_MIN_SPECIAL_CHARS=2

Also for passwd aging

passwd -x 84

Please clarify

Thanks

Joe

I believe there was a patch that implemented the /etc/default/security functionality on 11.0. Try doing a man on security. If you get the man page, then you have the patch and the functionality. If not, search the patch database.

Joe,

I believe the required patches were:

PHCO_27721 and either PHCO_26089 or PHCO_34806
