+.SH "NAME"
+login.defs \- shadow password suite configuration
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+/etc/login\&.defs
+file defines the site\-specific configuration for the shadow password suite\&. This file is required\&. Absence of this file will not prevent system operation, but will probably result in undesirable operation\&.
+.PP
+This file is a readable text file, each line of the file describing one configuration parameter\&. The lines consist of a configuration name and value, separated by whitespace\&. Blank lines and comment lines are ignored\&. Comments are introduced with a "#" pound sign and the pound sign must be the first non\-white character of the line\&.
+.PP
+Parameter values may be of four types: strings, booleans, numbers, and long numbers\&. A string is comprised of any printable characters\&. A boolean should be either the value
+\fIyes\fR
+or
+\fIno\fR\&. An undefined boolean parameter or one with a value other than these will be given a
+\fIno\fR
+value\&. Numbers (both regular and long) may be either decimal values, octal values (precede the value with
+\fI0\fR) or hexadecimal values (precede the value with
+\fI0x\fR)\&. The maximum value of the regular and long numeric parameters is machine\-dependent\&.
+.PP
+The following configuration items are provided:
+.PP
+\fBCHFN_AUTH\fR (boolean)
+.RS 4
+If
+\fIyes\fR, the
+\fBchfn\fR

+\fBCHFN_RESTRICT\fR (string)
+.RS 4
+This parameter specifies which values in the
+\fIgecos\fR

+program\&. It can be any combination of letters
+\fIf\fR,
+\fIr\fR,
+\fIw\fR,
+\fIh\fR, for Full name, Room number, Work phone, and Home phone, respectively\&. For backward compatibility,
+\fIyes\fR
+is equivalent to
+\fIrwh\fR
+and
+\fIno\fR
+is equivalent to
+\fIfrwh\fR\&. If not specified, only the superuser can make any changes\&. The most restrictive setting is better achieved by not installing

+SUID\&.

+.RE
+.PP
+\fBENCRYPT_METHOD\fR (string)
+.RS 4
+This defines the system default encryption algorithm for encrypting passwords (if no algorithm are specified on the command line)\&.
+.sp
+It can take one of these values:
+\fIDES\fR

+.RE
+.PP
+\fBENV_HZ\fR (string)
+.RS 4

+.RE
+.PP
+\fBHUSHLOGIN_FILE\fR (string)
+.RS 4
+If defined, this file can inhibit all the usual chatter during the login sequence\&. If a full pathname is specified, then hushed mode will be enabled if the user\*(Aqs name or shell are found in the file\&.

+.PP
+\fBLOG_UNKFAIL_ENAB\fR (boolean)

+.PP
+\fBLOGIN_RETRIES\fR (number)
+.RS 4
+Maximum number of login retries in case of bad password\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBLOGIN_STRING\fR (string)

+Maximum members per group entry\&. When the maximum is reached, a new group entry (line) is started in
+/etc/group
+(with the same name, same password, and same GID)\&.
+.sp
+The default value is 0, meaning that there are no limits in the number of members in a group\&.
+.sp
+This feature (split group) permits to limit the length of lines in the group file\&. This is useful to make sure that lines for NIS groups are not larger than 1024 characters\&.
+.sp
+If you need to enforce such limit, you can use 25\&.

+\fIno\fR\&.
+.sp

+This variable is deprecated\&. You should use
+\fBENCRYPT_METHOD\fR\&.

+\fBPASS_MAX_DAYS\fR,
