How to disable the password change request forever?

Hello

I have Solaris 10 OS on my machines. I don't ever want to change the password I've set - that's why I set MINWEEKS and MAXWEEKS to "0" in /etc/default/passwd and thereafter I've reset the password.

But what a surprise: today I could not remotely login on the machine and got the message:

$ su -

Password:

su: Password for user 'root' has expired - use passwd(1) to update it

Please, could you advise me how to definitely disable this feature?

Thanks

hi pentscho

use: # passwd -x -1 <username>for specified users.

if you want it to disable for all, modify /default/passwd

but attention: minweeks has to be smaller than maxweeks !

try it with -1 and 0

cheers, jenny
