what files do I find this security information in unix(s)
following on each of the Unix (AIX, Solaris, Linux) servers
1) Accounts are locked (requiring the user to reauthenticate) after idle time of 75 minutes or less
2) Accounts are locked out (disabled) after a maximum of 15 invalid logon attempts
3) When accounts are locked out due to exceeding the maximum invalid login attempts, the accounts remain disabled for a minimum of 130 minutes or until unlocked by someone with appropriate authority
4) Passwords must be changed every 180 days

1. export TMOUT=4500 ( you can set it in the /etc/profile )
2 & 3. vi /etc/pam.d/system-auth --> modify the line
auth required pam_tally.so onerr=fail deny=15 unlock_time=7800
4. chage -M 180 username ( password will be valid for 180 days )

good job but I do not want to set it, I want to find the information.
You did too good of a job.
Cat filename | grep 'xxx' usually gives what I need. I need file names and field names :)

Most of the info you require is in /etc/shadow on Solaris/Linux systems.
On AIX the equivalent are the files under /etc/security
