NAME
login.defs - Konfiguration der Shadow-Passwort-Programmsammlung

BESCHREIBUNG

The /etc/login.defs file defines the site-specific configuration for the shadow password suite. This file is required. Absence of this file will not prevent system operation, but will probably result in undesirable operation.

Diese Datei ist eine lesbare Textdatei. Jede Zeile der Datei beschreibt einen Konfigurationsparameter und besteht aus dessen Namen und einem Wert; beides durch Leerraumzeichen voneinander getrennt. Leer- und Kommentarzeilen werden nicht beachtet. Kommentare werden mit dem Rautezeichen »#« eingeleitet, wobei es das erste nicht leere Zeichen der Zeile sein muss.

Parameter values may be of four types: strings, booleans, numbers, and long numbers. A string is comprised of any printable characters. A boolean should be either the value yes or no. An undefined boolean parameter or one with a value other than these will be given a no value. Numbers (both regular and long) may be either decimal values, octal values (precede the value with 0) or hexadecimal values (precede the value with 0x). The maximum value of the regular and long numeric parameters is machine-dependent.

Folgende Merkmale können konfiguriert werden:

PASS_MAX_DAYS, PASS_MIN_DAYS and PASS_WARN_AGE are only used at the time of account creation. Any changes to these settings won't affect existing accounts.

FEHLER

Much of the functionality that used to be provided by the shadow password suite is now handled by PAM. Thus, /etc/login.defs is no longer used by passwd(1), or less used by login(1), and su(1). Please refer to the corresponding PAM configuration files instead.

SIEHE AUCH

login(1), passwd(1), su(1), passwd(5), shadow(5), pam(8).
