AIX password issue

Hi,

My server is an AIX server. Whenever a new user is created through smitty,
the first time he logs in, he has to change his password.

But i want to disable it and to enable the password expiry to a month. (i.e) after every month, he has to change his password.

Any help in this matter is highly appreciated.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards,
Magesh

Check out pwdadm to clear the flags so they don't have to change it the first time. In smitty you could set the password max age to 4 weeks.
