Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Text:	.Password age rules apply only to local users Some compliance profiles, eg. CIS or DISA STIG, contain rules checking password age and password expiration of user account passwords. Specifically, we are talking about these rules: accounts_password_set_max_life_existing, accounts_password_set_min_life_existing, accounts_password_set_warn_age_existing, accounts_set_post_pw_existing. Previously, these rules checked not only configuration of local users but they also evaluated configuration of remote users provided by network sources such as NSS. This behavior was caused by using the `getpwent()` system call in the OpenSCAP scanner. This behavior wasn't desired, behavior the remediation scripts weren't able to change the configuration of the remote users. Therefore, the internal implementation of the aforementioned rules has been changed to depend only on data present in the "/etc/shadow" file. That means no other sources of user metadata are read by the rules. As a result, the rules now consider only local users configuration.	Story Points:	---
