password expiry

[KOGOE]

My system is HP9000 rp4440 running on HP-UX 11i v1; I would like to oblige all users to change their password every 60 days, with a warning 2 days before password expiry.Then a issue this command : passwd -w 2 -x 60 user
But I have en error saying that I can't issued the option -w because my system is not a trusted system. My question is that how can I bypass this problem?
thank u

hi,

you must run in trusted mode to be able to use this functionality.

Many years ago, there was a script around for HP-UX 9.x that could do something like this as a cron job.

Essentially, you need to write a cron job that will run every 60 days to chang eth euser password filed in /etc/passwd to have ,.. inserted at the front of their password. This accepts their old password but forces a password change at login time.
Failing that, you will need to change the system to be come a trusted system
