Password setting policies: Account defaults

## 5. Account defaults

When using shadow passwords, you have control of both the password expiration date and also of the account expiration date. You can set defaults here. They will be used to setup new accounts.

Note that this section only shows up if you have enabled shadow password. Some linux distributions do not support shadow passwords. Others do not install them by default. Linuxconf adapts to this situation on the fly.
