Does CSUnix support password aging?
A. Yes, but only through the Telnet interface. Check these items: • The user profile has an until date set for the password. • The CLI.cfg file has lines that define these values: config_warning_period x config_expiry_period y If all of these items are true, then the user receives an expiration message through Telnet x days prior to the until date. When the user starts the password change sequence by leaving their password blank and pressing Enter, the until date is incremented by y days. A sample user profile is shown in this output, with a brief explanation. > ./ViewProfile -p 9900 -u abcde123 !— In this example, abcde123 is used in place of an actual user name. User Profile Information user = abcde123{ profile_id = 21 profile_cycle = 1 password = clear “********” until “8 Aug 2001” } In this example, if the CSU.cfg file has the lines config_warning_period 5 and config_expiry_period 30, then the user named “abcde123” starts to receive Telnet warnings of password expiration on Augus
