SET USER Command
PASSWORD [password]
specifies a logon password for a user. Typically, users must enter their user
name and a password to log on to a system.
For password, specify the user’s logon password, which can be one to eight
characters long. Use any alphanumeric characters except blanks, commas,
semicolons, and the ASCII null character. The case of letters in a password is
preserved. Lowercase letters remain lowercase, and uppercase letters remain
uppercase.
If you omit password, its value is set to null. (No password is required for
logon.)
USER-EXPIRES [ date [ , time] ]
establishes a date and time after which a user cannot log on to the system.
Specify date and time in local civil time.
If you omit both date and time, the user-expiration attribute value is set to
null (no expiration date).
If omitted, time is set to 0:00 (midnight).
The form of date [ , time] is:
{ month-name day } year [,hour:min]
{ day month-name }
month-name
is the first three letters of the month name: JAN, FEB, MAR, and so on.
(You can use either uppercase or lowercase letters.)
day

hour
is an integer from 0 through 23.
min

password. For num, specify an integer from 1 to 32,767.
