Password policy
catrefil
I'm trying to implement a password policy on Tru64 v5.1. Specifically,
my password policy states that user password should be changed every
year and should have 8 char with at least one of (lower, Upper, digits
and special characters).
Does anybody know if there is already something built-in? Or I need to
create my own?
Thanks

There is a Security Administration manual for V5.1 that you might want
to read.
It's available on-line at: http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V51B_ACRO_DUX/ARH95ETE.PDF
I'm a VMS user mainly, with just two Tru64 systems that I use
occasionally. I'm not an admin for unix systems.

I don't have a Tru64 up and running right now,
but maybe "sysman" offers some options in its
user administration part. I think you can reach it
via CDE folders on the root account.

I have just implemented something similar and I had to install C2 Enhanced
Security to do it. I suspect the same will be true for you.

It seems I have the same problem as you.
Password policy has changed on my tru64 servers from 8 to 10 characters
And when I want to change passwords, I have an error message : Password must be from 1 to 9 characters.
All my servers are on base security and, as I have red, the maximum lenght by default is 8 characters.
So I need to change password lenght but I don't know how to do.
When I edit the /etc/auth/system/default directly or with edauth -dd default, I would set u_maxlen to the password length I need. But when I have done it, password length seems to be unlimited.
I try different password length and it works even if it is longer than what I want.
Can you confirm the only way to obtain the good result is to install C2 Enhanced Security ?
