NIS password aging
I have an AIX 4.3.3 server running a NIS domain with a Solaris 2.8 NIS client. When I attempt to password age an account Solaris does not register that the password needs to change. I have AIX clients where this works as well as HP-UX 11.00

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
The /etc/default/passwd file does contain variables that can be modified to age passwords. From the passwd man page:
/etc/default/passwd
Default values can be set for the following flags in /etc/default/passwd. For example: MAXWEEKS=26
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.
Hope this helps,
Regards, Nisus
