hi guys,

We have to implement new local (/etc/default/login) USER security policy on almost 50 stations.
so editing /etc/default/login and /etc/default/passwd will be way too long work.
Can we do the same using some script, I mean editing the above files and putting variables as RETRIES=3, DISABLETIME=60, TIMEOUT=30 etc etc.

Thank you for the assistance.

@Asteroid.

For eg.

You want to replace A with B

sed 's/A/B/g' file > tmp_file

Check your tmp_file

mv tmp_file file
