Password ageing for existing AIX users


Hello all,
Is there a way/ a command in AIX to change all existing users' maxage value? chuser basically changes a specific user's details, but you cant seem to make it change it for *all* users. I heard my colleague said that there is a command that lets you change for all users, but he wasnt sure what. Can you guys shed some light on this matter?

Thanks in advance!

- Suze

for i in `cat /etc/passwd |awk '{print $2}' `
do
echo changing $i
# chuser $î blah-blah-blah
done

I'm not quite sure of $2, have a look, it could be $1 or $4.

Regards

Zorba
