As far as I remember, the file doesn't get created automatically. You have to create it. man 4 security to know what options you can put there. File security works with trusted system and with normal /etc/passwd also.

If the file is not there, somply create a new to your specifications, or copy one over from another system that has one you like

/etc/default/security is not supplied for older systems (11.00 through 11.11). It does not have to exist since all the entries in this file are optional. The documentation is found at:

man security

NOTE: Comment lines are any line with a # in it! Not just at the beginning but anywhere on the line -- a bit unexpected. So don't put comments on the same line as an option. Attached is a heavily commented security file - make whatever changes you need to match your company's security policies.
