pwage reuse password

[SILVERSTAR]

Hi,

I am using pwage on my machine it seems that the pwd may be reused but I cannot find how to set this rule nor the standard reuse value actually pressent, even if I have experienced that it is two (2).

anyone knows something abount it ?

Thanks
Angelo

Angelo,

I'm not sure what pwage is, but the standard place to configure password aging and the like in HP-UX is in the file /etc/default/security

There is one tool pwage, which is used only for managing password aging. You can change pwd age, enable, disable it, but cannot change passwords.
Can you give more details for passwords reuse ? What exactly you tried to change ?

Hello,

/etc/default/security is not present.
On the system I have pwplus as well.

If i set a password I would avoid that on next password change the user can set one of the old pwd he set in the past.

I would like to avoid password reuse.

thanks
Angelo

Your problem is comming from pwplus, not from pwage.

With pwplus installed you cannot use previous passwords. See in pwplus documentation how to temporally disable it.
There is no configuration file for pwplus to change these settings.
