Added a section here: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Identity_Management_Guide/pwd-expiration.html checked in: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Identity_Management_Guide/pwd-expiration.html Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-Identity_Management_Guide-6-en-US-2.2.0-1 --- 11.4. Managing Password Expirations Password policies are applied at the time a password is changed. So, when a password is set, it conforms to the password policy in effect at that time. If the password policy is changed later, that change is not applied, retroactively, to the password. Setting password expiration periods is configured as part of the group password policy. Creating and editing password policies (including the expiration attribute in the policy) is covered in Section 11.3, “Creating and Editing Password Policies”. With password expirations, there are two attibutes that are related: [typo] s/attibutes/attributes [comment] Also after checking the AHD and IBM style guide there are no instances of Expirations, this should be replaced with Expiration. |
