(Answer) (Category) SCO UnixWare 7/OpenUNIX 8/OpenServer 6 FAQ : (Category) System Administration :
Where do I change the default account aspects, like the login shell?
You can use the 'defadm' command to manipulate your /etc/default/* files: 

      defadm useradd

   You can also do that from the scoadmin account manager.  You can also
   manipulate the skel files.

   Defadm had a bug where it can't parse the /etc/default/man file because
   ORDER is too long.  It also had another problem with another file,
   /etc/default/login, which is important because it needs to delay hackers
   from attacking the system.  In that file, right after ISL, the MAXTRYS=
   null entry screws up the works.  Logfailure and account locking don't
   work without it.  Nothing after that line is parsed during login attempts
   as far as I could tell.  I fixed it by putting in a MAXTRYS=50 or
   some such number.
