Changing password expiration defaults
The system default values for password expiration
are as follows:
MINWEEKS-
minimum number of weeks before a password can be changed
MAXWEEKS-
maximum number of weeks a password can be unchanged
WARNWEEKS-
number of weeks before a password expires that the user is to be warned
You can change these values in the /etc/default/passwd
file using the
System Defaults Manager
or the
defadm(1M)
command:
defadm passwd parameter=value
NOTE:
The Account Manager and
passwd(1)
use days instead of weeks.
