Password Expiry.

[unixguy_1]

Dear Friends,

How to set expiry date for the User password?

Do:

# man passwd

and look for "expir".

The options -n -w and -x are what you are looking for.

If u don't mind can u give the correct syntax.

/bin/passwd -r files -x 90 -w 7 -n 20 $USER_NAME

[Frank de Vries]

you can also use SAM
or do it commandline

passwd -n 50 userx
will set the minimum days
passwd -x 60 userx
will set the maximum days
passwd -w 50 userx
will set the days when warning is given

passwd -f userx
User will need to change password at firt login time

regards,

[Pete Randall]

passwd [-n min] [-w warn] [-x max] name

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

-w = the number of days, warn, prior to the password expiring when the user will be notified that the password needs to be changed

-x = the maximum number of days, max, a password can remain unchanged

The man pages are your friends!!

Hi,

You can set through sam.
