Password expiry information
The password aging information may be changed by the super
user with the -x, -n, -w, and -i options. The -x option
is used to set the maximum number of days a password
remains valid. After max days, the password is required
to be changed. The -n option is used to set the minimum
number of days before a password may be changed. The user
will not be permitted to change the password until min
days have elapsed. The -w option is used to set the num
ber of days of warning the user will receive before their
password will expire. The warning occurs warn days before
the expiration, telling the user how many days until the
password is set to expire. The -i option is used to dis
able an account after the password has been expired for a
number of days. After a user account has had an expired
password for inact days, the user may no longer sign on to
the account.
