Hi folks,
I've slowly been setting up some options for the default class in
login.conf such that passwords will expire after 150 days. To test
whether this functionality was working, I have a warning appear on the
first day, so that if I set a password and log in , I ought to be warned
that my password will expire in 150 days.
It doesn't appear to be working. I am not receiving any kind of warning
that my password will expire.
To see whether I was correctly in the default class, I changed the
message of the day file from /etc/motd to /etc/motw, and the message of
the day changed appropriately. I then set up a session limit of an hour
and a half with a warning appearing after 1 minute, but that isn't
working either.
The method I'm using is this: I use vi to edit the /etc/login.conf, then
run cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf. I then reboot the machine, to make sure
that everything that ought to be paying attention does.
I suspected that /etc/master.passwd might need updating, so I used vipw,
made a trivial change, saved the change, but nothing.
My default class reads:
default:\
:passwd_format=md5:\
:copyright=/etc/COPYRIGHT:\
:welcome=/etc/motd:\
:setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES:\
:path=/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/games /usr/local/sbin
/usr/local/bin ~/bin:\
:nologin=/var/run/nologin:\
:cputime=unlimited:\
:datasize=unlimited:\
:stacksize=unlimited:\
:memorylocked=unlimited:\
:memoryuse=unlimited:\
:filesize=unlimited:\
:coredumpsize=unlimited:\
:openfiles=unlimited:\
:maxproc=unlimited:\
:sbsize=unlimited:\
:vmemoryuse=unlimited:\
:priority=0:\
:ignoretime@:\
:umask=022:\
:passwordtime=150d:\
:warnpassword=150d:
:sessiontime=1h30m:\
:warntime=1h29m:
Any ideas?
