password "min age" setting 1

[pdtak]

How do you change default setting on password expiration field?
My default setting has 15 weeks for "password min age", and I would like it to be 0 for all of my current users as well as futures users created.
I guess there's a default file that I need to update, but I don't know where it is.
Thanks.

Look at the "default:" entry in /etc/security/user. Be aware though, that any setting that you change for the "default:" will be applicable on any user that doesn't have different settings explicitly defined in this same file.

defaults are held in file /usr/lib/security/mkuser.default

Take a copy of this file and then make any changes required

Remember that if you upgrade the operating system this file may be updated as well

Password defaults are not in /usr/lib/security/mkuser.default. That only has:

user:
pgrp = staff
groups = staff
shell = /usr/bin/ksh
home = /home/$USER

unixfreak was right, I didn't see what I needed to see from /usr/lib/security/mkuser.default
