Rather than changing each user, change the default user stanza in
/etc/security/user. It will apply to all users unless they have an override
value..

No!
You want the MAX. AGE parameter. That's in weeks, so either 4 or 5 for a month.
"Weeks between password EXPIRATION and LOCKOUT" means that after a password
expires, if it hasn't been updated 4 weeks later the userid gets locked, so it
can't be used at all - not even to set a new password - until an administrator
unlocks it.
If you've got a lot of users to co it's probably easier to use the chuser
command.

Subject: Password Expiration on 5.2
Admins,
I am trying to setup all user to have their password expire every 30
days. I have made two changes in "smit passwdattrs" and they are below. I want
to make sure that the system will expire a user's password every month (30 days)
and it will warn them 3 days before it is going to expire. Would the below
changes be correct? Looks like the default Weeks between Expiration was -1.
Any help would be appreciated.
Days to WARN USER before password expires [3]
Weeks between password EXPIRATION and LOCKOUT [4]
Thanks Larry
