All password aging values are located in the /etc/passwd file - http://docs.hp.com/en/B3921-90010/passwd.1.html . When initially account is created default values are using from /etc/default/security file - http://docs.hp.com/en/B3921-90010/security.4.html

Hi,

If it is trusted system you can easily set globally or user wise.

If it is non-trusted system you will have to set it in /etc/default/security.

If it is a trusted system and you'd like to do it for a single user, then the command is this:

/usr/lbin/modprpw -k -m exptm=PWDAGE

or you can do it globally like so:

/usr/lbin/modprdef -m exptm=PWDAGE
