We have Centos 5.8 on LInux server.I setup /etc/login.defs following: PASS_MAX_DAYS 3 PASS_MIN_DAYS 0 PASS_MIN_LEN 8 PASS_WARN_AGE 1

after that I chack user password policy and it show:# chage -l user1 Last password change : Jun 29, 2015 Password expires : never Password inactive : never Account expires : never Minimum number of days between password change : 0 Maximum number of days between password change : 99999 Number of days of warning before password expires : 7

anyone know why? I did reboot server still same.

It will not be applied automatically to existing users, you have to do that manually by running below command,

For an example,

# chage -E 6/30/2015 -m 5 -M 90 -I 30 -W 14 test ( For more information read Man page )

If you gonna create a new user after making changes into /etc/login.defs then password policy will be applied automatically on new user and you can check it by running "chage -l username".
