Disabling password expiration via useradd or usermod (or something else)?

eviser · 05-31-2006, 01:12 PM

Hey all, I just want to know of a way to disable password expiration for a user account via a terminal, rather than from the UI of Red Hat 9 (I'm using PuTTy-SSH).

I've checked over the man pages for both useradd and usermod, but can't seem to find anything concrete on this matter.

Any ideas?

check out 'man passwd'. there are options you can use with the command to set the min and max password lifetime.
