UNIX ID Password Expiration
We are trying to implement an Password Aging system that will force UNIX Accounts to change their passwords every 3 mons or so. This will be done my our Server Support Provider.
We want to identify UNIX IDs that connects to our server via ftp,scp,sftp and other special connection protocols. IN short, we want the Password Aging scheme to hit only IDs that connect using regular login.
Is there a way to identify "special ids" with "regular ones"???
Thanks for your help. Let me know if you need other details.
other info: our server is HP_UX.
- i already posted this under Scripting... hope to hear from guys expert in HP-UX. Thanks!
