I understand that it is possible to set the expiration period for the
password for the OS users, by setting the MAXWEEKS value in the /etc/
default/passwd file.
But, as this is a systemwide setting, it affects all the users. Is it
possible to set the expiration period user specifically, for example:
3 months for user1, 1 month for user2 and no expiration for user3?
