<h4 class="subsection">Adding or Modifying Policies</h4>

<p>To add a new policy, use the kadmin <code>add_policy</code> command, which
requires the "add" administrative privilege.  The syntax is:

<pre class="smallexample">     <b>add_policy</b> [<i>options</i>] <i>policy_name</i>
     </pre>

<p>To modify attributes of a principal, use the kadmin <code>modify_policy</code>
command, which requires the "modify" administrative privilege.  The
syntax is:

<pre class="smallexample">     <b>modify_policy</b> [<i>options</i>] <i>policy_name</i>
     </pre>

<p><code>add_policy</code> has the alias <code>addpol</code>. 
<code>modify_poilcy</code> has the alias <code>modpol</code>.

<p>The <code>add_policy</code> and <code>modify_policy</code> commands take the
following switches:

     <dl>
<dt><b>-maxlife </b><i>time</i><b></b>
     <dd>Sets the maximum lifetime of a password to <i>time</i>.

     <br><dt><b>-minlife </b><i>time</i><b></b>
     <dd>Sets the minimum lifetime of a password to <i>time</i>.

     <br><dt><b>-minlength </b><i>length</i><b></b>
     <dd>Sets the minimum length of a password to <i>length</i> characters.

     <br><dt><b>-minclasses </b><i>number</i><b></b>
     <dd>Requires at least <i>number</i> of character classes in a password.

     <br><dt><b>-history </b><i>number</i><b></b>
     <dd>Sets the number of past keys kept for a principal to <i>number</i>. 
</dl>
