How to set  or update user expiry date of password

[Syedfurquan]

Hi,

You can use command.

passwd -n 7 -x 70 -w 14 username

This will not allow the user to change its password within 7days, maximum validity of password 70 days and give a warning to change password before 14days of expiring.

You can change the parameter according to your needs.

I got following error
Option -w is disabled. You must enable shadow passwords

passwd -n 7 -x 70 gz
<min> argument rounded up to nearest week
<max> argument rounded up to nearest week

Hi ,

Its ok.

-w will work only when /etc/shadow is enable.

You can check now user status by command

passwd -s username
