Code on /etc/default/login and passwd.

Code on /etc/default/passwd on below :
Code:
#ident	"@(#)passwd.dfl	1.7	04/04/22 SMI"
#
# Copyright 2004 Sun Microsystems, Inc.  All rights reserved.
# Use is subject to license terms.
#
MAXWEEKS=
MINWEEKS=
PASSLENGTH=6

# NAMECHECK enables/disables login name checking.
# The default is to do login name checking.
# Specifying a value of "NO" will disable login name checking.
#
#NAMECHECK=NO

# HISTORY sets the number of prior password changes to keep and
# check for a user when changing passwords.  Setting the HISTORY
# value to zero (0), or removing/commenting out the flag will
# cause all users' prior password history to be discarded at the
# next password change by any user.  No password history will
# be checked if the flag is not present or has zero value.
# The maximum value of HISTORY is 26.
#
# This flag is only enforced for user accounts defined in the
# local passwd(4)/shadow(4) files.
#
#HISTORY=0
#
# Password complexity tunables.  The values listed are the defaults
# which are compatible with previous releases of passwd.
# See passwd(1) and pam_authtok_check(5) for use warnings and
# discussion of the use of these options.
#
#MINDIFF=3
#MINALPHA=2
#MINNONALPHA=1
#MINUPPER=0
#MINLOWER=0
#MAXREPEATS=0
#MINSPECIAL=0
#MINDIGIT=0
#WHITESPACE=YES
#
# 
# passwd performs dictionary lookups if DICTIONLIST or DICTIONDBDIR
# is defined. If the password database does not yet exist, it is
# created by passwd. See passwd(1), pam_authtok_check(5) and
# mkdict(1) for more information.
#
#DICTIONLIST=
#DICTIONDBDIR=/var/passwd


Code on /etc/default/login on below :
#ident	"@(#)login.dfl	1.14	04/06/25 SMI"
#
# Copyright 2004 Sun Microsystems, Inc.  All rights reserved.
# Use is subject to license terms.

# Set the TZ environment variable of the shell.
#
#TIMEZONE=EST5EDT

# ULIMIT sets the file size limit for the login.  Units are disk blocks.
# The default of zero means no limit.
#
#ULIMIT=0

# If CONSOLE is set, root can only login on that device.
# Comment this line out to allow remote login by root.
#
CONSOLE=/dev/console

# PASSREQ determines if login requires a password.
#
PASSREQ=YES

# ALTSHELL determines if the SHELL environment variable should be set
#
ALTSHELL=YES

# PATH sets the initial shell PATH variable
#
#PATH=/usr/bin:

# SUPATH sets the initial shell PATH variable for root
#
#SUPATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

# TIMEOUT sets the number of seconds (between 0 and 900) to wait before
# abandoning a login session.
# 
#TIMEOUT=300

# UMASK sets the initial shell file creation mode mask.  See umask(1).
#
#UMASK=022

# SYSLOG determines whether the syslog(3) LOG_AUTH facility should be used
# to log all root logins at level LOG_NOTICE and multiple failed login
# attempts at LOG_CRIT.
#
SYSLOG=YES

# SLEEPTIME controls the number of seconds that the command should
# wait before printing the "login incorrect" message when a
# bad password is provided.  The range is limited from
# 0 to 5 seconds.
#
#SLEEPTIME=4

# DISABLETIME  If present, and greater than zero, the number of seconds
# login will wait after RETRIES failed attempts or the PAM framework returns 
# PAM_ABORT. Default is 20. Minimum is 0. No maximum is imposed.
# 
#DISABLETIME=20

# RETRIES determines the number of failed logins that will be
# allowed before login exits. Default is 5 and maximum is 15.
# If account locking is configured (user_attr(4)/policy.conf(4))
# for a local user's account (passwd(4)/shadow(4)), that account
# will be locked if failed logins equals or exceeds RETRIES.
#
#RETRIES=5
#
# The SYSLOG_FAILED_LOGINS variable is used to determine how many failed
# login attempts will be allowed by the system before a failed login
# message is logged, using the syslog(3) LOG_NOTICE facility.  For example,
# if the variable is set to 0, login will log -all- failed login attempts.
#
#SYSLOG_FAILED_LOGINS=5


Thank you so much for help.
