    I just build an AIX 5.3 server with ML03.
    I modified the /etc/security/user files to set password rules, and they are not applied for root user (i checked that NOCHECK is not setted for root)
    i checked for another user: it works

    does someone get this problem?
    are the password rules used for root user on you 5.3 systems?
    Thanks for a quick anser
