PAM password aging controls for individual accounts in RHEL 6.x
I am using PAM on Redhat Enterprise Linux 6.4. Everything is configured and operating correctly for password aging, length, complexity, etc. but I have recently run into a situation where a number of service accounts are required to keep their password. We have increased the minimum password length to address our policy requirements to allow this, however, I am trying to just shut off the aging requirement for these accounts. I would like to know if there is a way to control password aging differently for specific users or groups. Anyone have any ideas on how to do this or if it is even possible?
Thanks for your time, Chris |
Have a look at the "chage" command.

Thanks
Thanks for the help. I was thinking with tunnel vision and really only looking within PAM. I tried the chage -E but that made the account itself not expire. Instead I used chage -M 99999 <username> and I think that will do what I need.
