User account management Sol10
Hi,

Is all of the user account password security settings kept in the /etc/default/passwd file or is there some new control in Solaris 10 that defines these?

I need to know the security settings for passwords in Solaris 10. Also is there any way to find out when accounts were created? Thanks.

Hi FloridaBSD.

I'm actually looking for the security attributes for passwords such as password length, must have uppercase/lowercase letters etc?

Is all the settings just held in the /etc/default/passwd file?

I'm also looking to get information on when the user accounts where created. Thanks.

Hi gwhelan!

Yes, if you use standard password system (not NSS, Kerberos or any another network password storage) - all setting you need located in /etc/default/password
