If you have a trusted system
SAM->Auditing And Security->System Security Policies.

Re: password delay on hp-ux

See man passwd for -n -x options.

-n min Determine the minimum number of days, min, that must
transpire before the user can change the password.


-x max Determine the maximum number of days, max, a password
can remain unchanged. The user must enter another
password after that number of days has transpired,
known as the password expiration time.


Example:

Force user2 to establish a new password on the next login which will
expire in 70 days and prohibit the user from changing the password
until 7 days have transpired:

passwd -r files -f -x 70 -n 7 user2


or through SAM
