     Name
          pwadmin - Performs password aging administration.
     Syntax
          pwadmin [ -min weeks  -max weeks ] options
     Description
          pwadmin is used to examine and modify the password aging
          information in the password file. The options one can
          specify are as follows:
          -d user
                 Displays the password aging information.
          -f user
                 Forces the user to change his password at the next
                 login.
          -c user
                 Prevents the user from changing his password.
          -a user
                 Enables password aging for the given user.  This
                 option sets the minimum number of weeks that the user
                 must wait before changing his password and the
                 maximum number of weeks that a user can keep his
                 current password for the values defined by the
                 MINWEEKS and MAXWEEKS variables in the
                 /etc/default/passwd file.  If the file is not found
                 or the defined values are not in the range 0 to 63,
                 the default values 2 and 4 are used.
          -n user
                 Disables the password aging feature.
          -min weeks
                 Enables password aging and sets the minimum number of
                 weeks before the user can change his password to
                 weeks. (This prevents him from changing his password
                 back to the old one).
          -max weeks
                 Enables password aging and sets the number of weeks
                 so the user can keep his current password set for
                 weeks.
     Files

     Notes
          The user must not attempt to force a new password by setting
          both the -min and -max values to zero.  To force a password,
          use the -f option.
          The user must not attempt to prevent further password
          changes by setting the -min value greater than the -max
          value.  To prevent changes, use the -c option.
