Our security Admin has suggested the following
approach as alternate to trusted mode(not a full
solution but atleast for passwd etc). we use a
security software which generates lots of reds for
passwd problems(history, depth, chars etc)
Note: The techniques below should only be applied to
HP-UX operating systems.
To make Invalid Mimimum Password History reds go away,
create a file called /etc/default/security. Configure
it as follows:
PASSWORD_HISTORY_DEPTH=4
MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH=6
PASSWORD_MIN_DIGIT_CHARS=1
PASSWORD_MIN_SPECIAL_CHARS=2
To remove Invalid Maximum Password Age reds without
Trusted Mode, for each login that exhibits the red,
type (as root):
passwd -x 84 <login ID>
My question is our systems run HP-UX 11.0. does this
support this feature? i thought i read somewhere that
the /etc/default/security file can be created only on
11.11? Also since we run NIS, we cannot go trusted.
Please Clarify.
Thanks
Joe.
