Password Policies
- Thread starter AIXdream
- Start date
you can view the file /etc/security/user and look at all of the possible options in the top comments, theres quite a few.
ones pertaining to your request:
maxage - force password change every X weeks.
from the commandline:
chuser -f /etc/security/user -s root -a maxage=4
standard word of caution, be careful setting password policy for the root account, make sure not to lock yourself out of it.

'chuser maxage=4 root' will do it.
