UNIX ID expiration
« on: August 14, 2005, 10:00:35 PM »
We are trying to implement an Password Aging system that will force UNIX Accounts to change their passwords every 3 mons or so. This will be done my our Server Support Provider.

We want to identify UNIX IDs that connects to our server via ftp,scp,sftp and other special connection protocols. IN short, we want the Password Aging scheme to hit only IDs that connect using regular login.

Is there a way to identify "special ids" with "regular ones"???

Thanks for your help. Let me know if you need other details.

other info: our server is HP_UX.

Install PAM!
PAM allows integration of various authentication technologies such as UNIX®, Kerberos, RSA, smart cards and DCE into system entry services such as login, passwd, rlogin, telnet, ftp, and su without changing any of these services.
