Re: system doesn't ask user to changes password

Converting to a Trusted System does not necessarily mean that every user will be asked to change his password. But a user with an empty password will be forced to set a password upon login to a Trusted System.

Re: system doesn't ask user to changes password

Check your /etc/default security file (also see "man security"
In there you can specify minimum password size, aging policy, etc.
Also, "passwd -f username" will force username to change their password next time they login.
