• AIX user administration: mkuser/chuser/lsuser, /etc/security/user, and forcing a password change

  AIX splits user data across /etc/passwd and the security database (/etc/security/user, /etc/security/passwd), managed through mkuser/chuser/lsuser/pwdadm rather than direct file edits. A new account has no usable password until one is set, and login restrictions such as logintimes live in /etc/security/user, invisible to a plain /etc/passwd read.
