OpenSSH maintains its own policies or settings in its config files, i.e.,
/etc/ssh/sshd_config, /etc/ssh/ssh_config, ~userid/.ssh/config.
You could use the AIX password with OpenSSH, but the true spirit of OpenSSH
is to use a passphrase and/or a public/private key.
OpenSSH will honor some AIX settings such as disabling of remote root
logins.

Subject: [aix-l] System user policies
Hello:
I need some feedback related to the use of Secure Shell (OpenSSH) with
system-user policies...
I need to define some restrictions about user's password lenght, password
rotation, login retries (and things like that)
What I see is that using telnet/rsh (and so on), every change (of this kind)
done with smit behaves as expected.
How can I configure these using SSH?
Has this anything to do with "auth_method" in /etc/security/login.cfg?
Does anyone have any idea??
Thanks in advance, regards
Ignacio
