Re: Password Setup

The Beauty of i5/OS. Once you change the system value and IPL the system,
your signon screen automatically has the long password field.

Are you changing your 'green screen' QDSIGNON to allow 32 character
passwords?

Powers to be have "finally" decided that Windows/network and 400 password
rules be identical. There are 2 areas I have a question on before I do
it.

Currently the QPWDLMTCHR value is set to #$_@ and they want be to allow
any
characters.

Is there any system/technical reason they should not be allowed on the 400
or was this just a "choice" made by whoever set it to this value eons ago.


QPWDLVL is set to 0 (allow passwords to be 1-10 long) and we need to
change
it to 2 (allow 1-128) but set the QPWDMAXLEN to 32.

Any gotchas there especially concerning mapped drives user have to
directories on the IFS?
