I'm new to AIX. Getting sick of AIX asking users for new password
when you log in to the server for the first time ever after the setting
the password using root.
After some digging, this is due to the ADMCHD flag in
/etc/security/password like below.
ahkow:
password = Qpkm8APaNsdoI
lastupdate = 1227154518
flags = ADMCHG
Clear the ADMCHG flag of the user account with "pwdadm -c ".
> pwdadm -c ahkow
now the flag is gone.
