Administering user accounts

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.
