Dears, To force local user in FreeBSD system changing their password periodically, I want to set Password Change Time. I tried the following two ways, but both failed. Could you please give me the correct operations? Thanks a lot! Method 1: Added passwordtime=2m to /etc/login.conf, then run the command cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf. Result: password of any user was not expired after two minutes. Method 2: Run the command pw usermod root -p 2m Result: password of root was expired after two minutes. But after I changed it one time, it would be never expired again. My system info: 7.3-RELEASE Best Regards, Jun Li Zhao (ÕÔ¿¡Àö) Smart Business Desktop on IBM Cloud, IBM China Development Lab(CDL) Email: zhaojli@cn.ibm.com Phone: +8610-82452120 Address: Diamond B Bldg. #19 Building, Zhong Guan Cun Software Park, #8 Dong Bei Wang West Road, ShangDi, Haidian District, Beijing, P.R.China,100193help
