Change user settings and password attributes in AIX
Posted by Lincoln Zuljewic Silva in Aix on May 11, 2010
To change some user and password settings in AIX, you should use the command "chuser". Follow some available parameters:
- loginretries -> number of login failures before lock the account.
- maxage -> maximum age of a password (in weeks)
- gecos -> general information about the user.
- groups
- home
- minlen -> minimum password length
- pgrp -> primary group
Example:
# chuser loginretries='0' maxage='0' gecos='User Foo Bar' groups='group1,group2,group3' home='/home/foobar' minlen='7' pgrp='groupX' <username>
