Thanks to all that replied - My original question was:
I am in the process of setting up several hundred accounts by which we
would like the user to set his/her own password upon their first login.
The application we run does not put the user at a UNIX
prompt upon login or ever. I thought the best way to accommodate the
problem was to enable enhanced security for Digital Unix 3.2. I think this
will do the trick but, would like to disable password expiration. I
believe I have identified the flag in the default authorization file to do
this but don't understand how the time_t formula works. Also will setting
the value to zero completely disable password expiration?
And the correct solution was (L.Lasser)....... but also was pointed to some
nifty scripts that also do the trick.....
There are two settings that apply
u_exp
This is the number of seconds after a
password change that the password will
expire. You want
u_exp#0
The zero indicates passwords will not
expire.
u_life
Lifetime of the password in seconds.
You want
u_life#0
The zero indicates the password will not
expire.
