This is not covered in the prpasswd man page. When running
C2, what is the correct way to set things up so there
are no password expirations or password lifetimes ?
Although it is not documented, the from playing, it seems
like you want to set u_exp and u_life to 0, either in
the /etc/auth/system/defaults file, or in a users own entry.
I came up with that because if it is not in the defaults
file, the useradd command puts u_life#0 and u_exp#0 in
a users password entry. . We are running in to problems
because we have a server that is seeing u_exp#0 and assuming
that the password is expired... Anyone know the official
DEC word what u_exp#0 is supposed to mean? Does it mean
your password is expired now, or that your password
never expires?
