 Changing /etc/security/user defaults from SMIT or CLI? Is there an official way to update values in the "default:" stanza of / etc/security/user without editing the file by hand? For instance, to change the default maximum password age. I know how to edit the file by hand to make the change, but for documentation's sake I'd rather use a command-line utility or SMIT if it can be done that way. TIA -=- Noah      |

Syntax: chsec [ -f File] [ -s Stanza] [ -a Attribute = Value ... ] "File" may be one of: /etc/security/environ /etc/security/group /etc/security/lastlog /etc/security/limits /etc/security/login.cfg /usr/lib/security/mkuser.default /etc/security/passwd /etc/security/portlog /etc/security/user Regards, Uwe Auer |

That was exactly what I needed! I'd been using chuser to update attributes within individual stanzas for each user but couldn't find a way to update the default stanza without editing the file. I tested chsec in a lab environment and it does precisely what I need it to do. Cheers --Noah |
