passwd -x

[Ana María]

When forcing users to change their password periodically, is it possible to allow specific login to avoid the condition?
Also for the password construction requirements (eg. min_pass_length)

Hi Ana:

Have a look at the options available in '/etc/default/security'. You will need to create this file if it doesn't exist. See the manpages for details:

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60127/security.4.html

Specifically see the 'MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH' and the 'PASSWORD_MAXDAYS'. For the MAXDAYS property, you can use 'passwd -x' to override the setting for a specific user(s).

Regards!
