I've stumbled through the documentation and finally found something I had asked about on this list:
pwpolicy
How long has this existed for OS X (as opposed to OS X Server) and does it really work on OS X (before I break my machine)
It has things like password history, expiration dates, requiring alpha and numeric characters, minimum password length.
Any issues with pwpolicy before I configure all our OS X 10.3.8 machines to meet our local requirements.
I should note it still fails in one aspect, we're required to use a combination of alphanumeric characters and symbols, I didn't see the latter part in the man page.
Michael,
The
pwpolicy command has indeed been a Mac OS X Server only command up until specific needs existed for password enforcement on a local machine. As it exists *on the client side*, it does not support every option listed in the man page. The Common Criteria Admin Guide covers those options required for Certification.
I will be providing clarification on what all is supported as of this release and what everyone can expect going forward. This would be posted to this list and to the Federal Website.
-Shawn
