Trusted system on 11.11 - don't expire password for 1 user

[RobertCarback]

I have an 11.11 server that is a trusted system. How can I change the security on one user so that the password never expires?

It _seems_ You need to use

usermod -f 1 -e '''' username


Sorry, never ran a trusted system :)

You can also go into "sam" then user accounts and then select the user you want to modify and somewhere in there you can change it (Sorry don't have trusted here but did it many times at other sites with trusted).

check modprpw to manage passwords on trusted systems:

man modprpw

usermod -f 1 -e '''' username does not work --
'Cannot interpret date:'

[RobertCarback]

I used modprpw -m acctexp=0 username per man pages and now getprpw shows the value as acctexp=1168283616.
Any idea what that means?

UNIX time 1168283616 is 01/08/2007 7:13pm GMT

Okay so that says it expires today. I want it to never expire. Anyone have any other ideas?

I use SAM .. users .. modify users security policy... passwd aging. enabled is the default .. change to disabled for that user.
