- Password aging works just fine under SunOS 4.1.X, PROVIDED YOU DON'T
- USE NIS !! The rpc.yppasswdd daemon has no notion of the password
- aging field, but it's said to work OK in Solaris 2.X. See my answer to
- another question "yppasswdd and expire - problem".
-
- You can also insert a password-quality trap into /bin/passwd. Send
- E-mail to "(Alain Brossard EPFL-SIC/SII)" <brossard@siisun.epfl.ch> for
- details.
