Securing Passwords
Hi All,
I'd like to give you an example of what I am trying to achieve and perhaps you might be able to help me along.
I would like to add the following criteria to new servers, from a password aging and lockout standpoint.
-Number of failed logins before lockout: = 5
-Number of Passwords before reuse: = 12
-Password MAX age: = 6
-Password Min. Length: = 6
-Password Min. Other Characters: = 1
I know I can use the chage command to set most of these changes on a single user basis. Is there a way to set these globally for users?
Thanks,
mkono
