OL09-00-001100 - OL 9 user account passwords must have a 60-day maximum password lifetime restriction.

Information

Any password, no matter how complex, can eventually be cracked; therefore, passwords need to be changed periodically. If OL 9 does not limit the lifetime of passwords and force users to change their passwords, there is the risk that OL 9 passwords could be compromised.

Solution

Configure noncompliant accounts to enforce a 60-day maximum password lifetime restriction.

passwd -x 60 [user]
