protected password database on trusted mode

[san_intel3]

we are having HP-UX 11.0 on a system and right now the system password expiration parameter in the /tcb/files/auth/system/default file is showing u_exp=0 which means the default password expiration has not set.
When I set the parameter using
modprdef -m exptm=12

will it have impact on all login ids on the system??

And for one id (say oracle) if we set the u_exp parameter to 0(which means password age for oracle id is not set) in the file /tcb/files/auth/o/oracle
which value will be considered by the system for oracle password expiration..is it a default value or the value in the oracle file...

So, finally will oracle id be having password expiration time as 12(default) or password age will not be set at all??

Global policies like password aging will apply to the next password change -- setting exptm=12 simply defines a new value. You must run the command:

modprpw -V

to set all the password expiration times to the new value. Like modprdef, modprpw is located in /usr/lbin.
