Solaris

hi folk,

i try to setup a new password policy for our solaris box user, below are the /etc/default/passwd/, but then when i tried to create a user, it didn't ask for numeric character, and the new password also didn't ask for special characters.

useradd <<<<<< error, it didnt ask for any special character, the username should has 1 numberic or special characters
passwd <<<< error, it didnt ask for any special character, the password should contains special characters

please helps ?

Password policies are enforced for regular users but not for root which is the account you are using here.

Thanks, but only as root I can add user, not regular users. How do I test my policy ?

adm@testbank> useradd testing
UX: useradd: ERROR: Permission denied.

Create a user as root then test your policy under that user's account.

thanks, but how do I enforce when the user or root add the new user, it should include 1 numberic char ?

because right now, when i add a newuser, it didnt ask for the numberic char should be included.

# useradd testing

I'm afraid you missed an important fact so let me rephrase it:
password policies aren't enforced when you are root.

apologies for the trouble, but even-thought i'd created the user "testing", i still can't create a new user without root permission ?

testing@testbank> useradd testing2
UX: useradd: ERROR: Permission denied.

i mean, i need to test when create the new user, the username should include numberic char
