/etc/default/security - Template or assessed at every logon? Hi All,
I am assessing whether the /etc/default/security file, which defines
security parameters below, is actively assessed by the system at every
logon, or is only a template for setting up users. For example, if
PASSWORD_HISTORY_DEPTH=4 was changed from 4 to 5, would this take
effect immediately for an existing user, or would only a new user have
a PASSWORD_HISTORY_DEPTH=5?
MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH=9
PASSWORD_HISTORY_DEPTH=4
PASSWORD_MIN_LOWER_CASE_CHARS=1
PASSWORD_MIN_DIGITS_CHARS=1
PASSWORD_MAXDAYS=90
PASSWORD_MINDAYS=7
PASSWORD_WARNDAYS=7
Thanks |
