NOM

       chage - Modifier les informations de validité d'un mot de passe

SYNOPSIS

       chage [options] LOGIN

DESCRIPTION

       The chage command changes the number of days between password changes and the date of the last password
       change. This information is used by the system to determine when a user must change their password.

OPTIONS

       The options which apply to the chage command are:

       -d, --lastday LAST_DAY
           Configurer le nombre du jour, à compter du 1er janvier 1970, où le mot de passe a été changé la
           dernière fois. La date peut aussi être exprimée dans le format AAAA-MM-JJ (ou le format utilisé plus
           communément dans votre région).

       -E, --expiredate EXPIRE_DATE
           Configurer la date, ou le nombre de jours à compter du 1er janvier 1970, à partir de laquelle le
           compte de l'utilisateur ne sera plus accessible. La date peut aussi être exprimée dans le format
           AAAA-MM-JJ (ou le format plus communément utilisé dans votre région). Un utilisateur dont le compte
           est bloqué doit contacter l'administrateur système pour pouvoir utiliser à nouveau le système.

           Passing the number -1 as the EXPIRE_DATE will remove an account expiration date.

       -h, --help
           Afficher un message d'aide et quitter.

       -i, --iso8601
           When printing dates, use YYYY-MM-DD format.

       -I, --inactive INACTIVE
           Set the number of days of inactivity after a password has expired before the account is locked. The
           INACTIVE option is the number of days of inactivity. A user whose account is locked must contact the
           system administrator before being able to use the system again.

           Passing the number -1 as the INACTIVE will remove an account's inactivity.

       -l, --list
           Afficher les informations sur l'âge des comptes.

       -m, --mindays MIN_DAYS
           Set the minimum number of days between password changes to MIN_DAYS. A value of zero for this field
           indicates that the user may change their password at any time.

       -M, --maxdays MAX_DAYS
           Set the maximum number of days during which a password is valid. When MAX_DAYS plus LAST_DAY is less
           than the current day, the user will be required to change their password before being able to use
           their account. This occurrence can be planned for in advance by use of the -W option, which provides
           the user with advance warning.

           Passing the number -1 as MAX_DAYS will remove checking a password's validity.

       -R, --root CHROOT_DIR
           Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR
           directory.

       -W, --warndays WARN_DAYS
           Set the number of days of warning before a password change is required. The WARN_DAYS option is the
           number of days prior to the password expiring that a user will be warned their password is about to
           expire.

       If none of the options are selected, chage operates in an interactive fashion, prompting the user with
       the current values for all of the fields. Enter the new value to change the field, or leave the line
       blank to use the current value. The current value is displayed between a pair of [ ] marks.

NOTE

       The chage program requires a shadow password file to be available.

       The chage command is restricted to the root user, except for the -l option, which may be used by an
       unprivileged user to determine when their password or account is due to expire.
