Library /sys$common/syshlp/UAFHELP.HLB  —  MODIFY  Qualifiers  /PWDLIFETIME
       /PWDLIFETIME=time (default)
       /NOPWDLIFETIME

    Specifies the length of time a password is valid. Specify a
    delta time value in the form [dddd-] [hh:mm:ss.cc]. For example,
    for a lifetime of 120 days, 0 hours, and 0 seconds, specify
    /PWDLIFETIME="120-". For a lifetime of 120 days 12 hours, 30
    minutes and 30 seconds, specify /PWDLIFETIME="120-12:30:30". If
    a period longer than the specified time elapses before the user
    logs in, the system displays a warning message. The password is
    marked as expired.

    To prevent a password from expiring, specify the time as NONE. By
    default, the password expiration time is taken from the DEFAULT
    account record. Beginning in Open VMSV8.4-2L3, a newly-created
    SYSUAF.DAT will have a 60-day expiration on the DEFAULT account.

    NOTE: An account with no password lifetime (/NOPWDLIFETIME) will not
    be checked for pre-expired passwords.  To have initial passwords
    require a password reset and no effective password lifetime, set
    the password expiration time to "9999-" instead of /NOPWDLIFETIME.
