Setting Security Policies in MDK?


Hello -

I have migrated from Windows 2000 and 2000 has this feature called Local Security Policy were you could set the number of password lenght, minimum pass lenght, number of bad logon attempts, and so on.

In Mandrake 9.1, were and how could I set these policies?

Had a laugh over that, Windows' Local Security Policy, LSP for short (get it?)
Have a look at passwd(5): man passwd
