    I mean here that this expiration policy applies to all existing users as well as to all the users which are going to be created in future.

    This depends on what authentication system you are using, local AIX users, NIS, kerberos, etc.?

    In case you just have local users a good starting point would be the man page for passwd, in particular the /etc/security/user configuration file.

    are good places to start.

    Chapter 11 in this red book may also be something you could read,
