I wanted to change the parameters settings in /etc/security/user file in AIX OS using a script. This is the sample user file.



default:   
admin = false
login = true
su = true
daemon = true
rlogin = true
sugroups = ALL
admgroups =
ttys = ALL
auth1 = SYSTEM
auth2 = NONE
tpath = nosak
umask = 022
expires = 0
SYSTEM = "compat"
logintimes =
pwdwarntime = 5
account_locked = false
loginretries = 6
histexpire = 0
histsize = 5
minage = 1
maxage = 12
maxexpired = 5
minalpha = 0
minother = 1
minlen = 8
mindiff = 0
maxrepeats = 2
dictionlist =
pwdchecks =


I would like to replace values of parameters with the values below:



pwdwarntime = 5  
loginretries = 6
histsize = 5
minage = 1
maxage = 4
maxexpired = 5
minalpha = 2
minother = 1
minlen = 8
mindiff = 0
