Actually, that environment variable is for setting the shell timeout. I.E., if you're inactive for a given period of time, the shell closes. Setting to 0 disables that. But it has nothing to do with passwords. :-) I'm not sure *what* happened along the way, but it appears that I did have the setting correct (in /etc/security/msec/level.local, I had "password_aging(-1)" set, which is what is supposed to do it (or at least, it did once upon a time). I set it to 99999 and ran msec again to apply it. I've stopped getting the warning notice for now, so I guess it worked. :-) --Dave --Dave -- David Guntner GEnie: Just say NO! http://www.akaMail.com/pgpkey/davidg or key server for PGP Public key
