AIX: Default Password Parameters
I am working on AIX flavor of Unix and was trying to run a script to obtain default settings of user passwords. The script uses the command to obtain default valid user attributes for:
/etc/security/user
for some reason, the message says-
cat: cannot open /etc/security/user
/etc/security/limits: No such file or directory
resource allocations AIX:
cat: cannot open /etc/security/limits
/etc/security/environ: No such file or directory
environment attributes AIX:
cat: cannot open /etc/security/environ
/etc/security/mkuser.default: No such file or directory
default account settings AIX:
cat: cannot open /etc/security/mkuser.default
/.secure/etc/passwd: No such file or directory
My question is why the script is unable to pull out the required information whereas it did it successfully when I last used it two months ago. Second, what command should be typed to manually obtain the default setting of password parameters (e.g. umask, loginretries, minage, maxage, minlen, minalpha, histsize, etc....)
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.....
