| Hi, I am new in AIX. I have a problem in setting up new user account in AIX. When I create a new account, the new user is required to reset password when log in first time. Is there anyway I can disable this setting? I am authenticating user through a OpenLdap server. I do not want user change password from AIX client. Thanks. |

As with openssh on aix, when key authentication is used, no password need to be set. Joachim Gann |
