I would like to have the users's passwords expire in 120 days, I know I can change the system defaults and also when going into scoadmin I can change existing users by changing one by one (cannot find an option for a global change). Is there a way to easily do this for changing all exisitng users to have their passwords expire in 120 days, maybe something I am overlooking in Scoadmin? A script maybe? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
 
cb2155, you might try looking at the help pgs via "man scoadmin", but since i don't use scoadmin menus that much, i'm not sure. but i imagine a little scripting could take care of this, if its not a menu option. -do you do any scripting?- for instance, the cmd "passwd $LOGNAME" could run on a certain date specified within /etc/profile. just a thought.
 
Thanks for responding, I did more research and used a "usermod" command to change the system default password expiration parameter.
