DESCRIPTION setpasswordpolicy (8) allows an administrator to change the the system
password policy. These policies are enforced by XSCF on the Service Processor. The
new password policy applies only to users added after the setpasswordpolicy
command is executed.

maxdays, mindays, and warn. When a user is created, the adduser(8) command uses
these parameters as the password expiration settings for the new account. The
password
(8) command can be used to change the password expiration settings for
an existing account.
Privileges You must have useradm privileges to run this command.
Refer to setprivileges(8) for more information.
