Password status question

[tikual]

Hi all,

In a trusted system, I typed commands as follows:

passwd -s user1
user1 PS 11/02/03 0 94 7

then I also tried

/usr/sbin/logins -x -l user1
user1 11025 users 20 ,,,
/home/user1
/usr/bin/sh
PS 110203 0 94 7

But in other case,

passwd -s user2
user2 PS

No date info here!!

/usr/sbin/logins -x -l user2
user2 11050 users 20 ,,,
/home/user2
/usr/bin/ksh
PS 090803 0 94 7

But the date info still appears here.

So I think that there may be few of fields has problem in /tcb/files/auth. Do anyone know what going wrong of user2?? Thanks!

Hi,

I would say that "user2" has passwd aging disabled.
You can see the differences more easily in SAM, go to "Accounts for users and group", then "Users", select the user you want and click "Actions", "Modify Security Policies".

Kind regards,

Hi Zigor,

I just got the answer before and it was same as your thinking. It showed that 'Default(Enabled)' in Password Aging and then I selected it to be 'Enable'. The date info was shown again by 'passwd -s'. Just confused why default setting just like a fake. Anyway, thanks for your reply!
