RE: Problems Coming !!
The key words here are should be and whenever possible (see below). If we can deactivate aging on every other server in the world, we should be able to deactivate it on si2061srvrp. If they insist on using password aging, they should be required to deactivate password reset / reuse limits so that after changing the passwords we can immediately set them back. Ask if you would like more info.
