==== Description ====
While a majority of the password control parameters have been moved to PAM, some parameters are still available through the shadow password suite. Any changes made to ''/etc/login.defs'' will only be applied if the ''usermod'' command is used. If user IDs are added a different way, use the ''chage'' command to effect changes to individual user IDs.
