&gt;&gt;&nbsp;I am using Sun OS 5.1.<br />
<br />
Really ? That would be Solaris 2.1 which was current back in 1994. I could image you are using SunOS 5.5.1 (around 1997), not 5.1. Can you confirm this ?<br />
<br />
If you are really using 5.1, then I'm not sure if we already had a /etc/shadow-file at that time, and therefore the passwd as proposed by thaanum may not work. In this case, only go for /etc/default/passwd.<br />
<br />
If you are using 5.5.1 you may use the following script to do it on all users:<br />
<br />
IFS=:<br />
while read a b<br />
do<br />
passwd -x -1 $a<br />
done &lt;/etc/passwd<br />
<br />
<br />
(suppose you are not using NIS or NIS+)<br />

Solaris 2.x has always had /etc/shadow, however my memory doesn't extend back far enough to remember if the passwd command has the -x feature. &nbsp;I'm pretty sure this came in later versions of Solaris.

Hi All,<br />
<br />
I am using Sun OS 5.1.<br />
<br />
Now some users will prompt to change password every 90days.<br />
Can I run a command to disable this feature. ie. all users will not prompt to change passwd every days and they can still login with the old password.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

No need to change password

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
