Hi Managers,

Here is summary. Thanks goes to Toad, Michael, Eriksson & Dennis. Sorry If
I have missed out anybody.

Best Answer came from Toad. I am attaching his mail.

You do not need to reboot.

However, this data won't be used for any of your users until they have
chenged their password. So, you need to force a change. Depending on
how you are doing user authentication it could be very simple or very
hard. If you are using files for authentication (/etc/passwd and
/etc/shadown) then for a passwd -f for each user. This will expire
their passwords and force them to change it on next logon.

My Original post:-

Hi Managers,

We have to implement password expiry for our system running with Solaris
2.6, I edited /etc/default/passwd file and added following entries.

MAXWEEKS=12
MINWEEKS=1

After this do we need to reboot the machine. As even after adding this
it
doesn't seem to be working.

Regards,


Vinay Thakral
