- You would want the Shadow Password Suite. It includes two tools for
- doing password aging, passwd and chage. The passwd command under SVR4
- includes options for setting various parts of the age information. It
- may be compiled to run on other-than-SVR4 systems. The chage command
- allows you to change any part of the age info you want. It too runs
- on a number of different systems.
-
- It is available from better archive sites everywhere. The archive
- name is "shadow".
