global password settings
Hello, we are making password setting changes effective for all users on an AIX 5.2 system. Specifically requiring users to use at least one special character in their password. Is there a way to make this change effective for all users in one place, ie the /etc/security/users file? I made the change in the users file and then went into smit users and viewed the setting for the user, but the change was not their. Any suggestions on the best way to accomplish this? Thanks
