It's only urgent for you. We volunteer our time to answer questions. If it's truly that urgent, why didn't you Google for it? Lots of solutions pop up on the first page.

You also need to provide information, such as what distro/version of Linux you're using.

Yes, it's possible, as I said before. The link I sent you tells you how to do it, the command to type in to modify existing users, and what file(s) to edit to make this policy the default for new users that are set up.
