password expired

[vti]

Hi
Is there a way to put password expiration date to my all users ?

Regards.

Don't know off hand ... but if you do a man passwd that should tell you how.

OK, on Solaris, man passwd tells you all you need to know. I guess it depends on your OS?

On Solaris, the file /etc/default/passwd can contain the following entries;
MAXWEEKS Maximum time period that password is valid.
MINWEEKS Minimum time period before the password can be changed.
PASSLENGTH Minimum length of password, in characters.
WARNWEEKS Time period until warning of date of password's ensuing expiration.

For example, my /etc/default/passwd looks like this ...

MAXWEEKS=
MINWEEKS=
PASSLENGTH=6

... meaning my passwords never expire, but they must be at least 6 characters long.

Try this first.

Greg.
