The password cannot be the same as the user name or the user name spelled backward. NOTE: You can set security policies for the password of a local authentication user on the Set Security Policy page. If Password Validity Period is 0, the password never expires.

A local authentication user must belong to a primary group, but does not necessarily belong to a secondary group. After a secondary group is added to or deleted from a local user, the secondary group of the local user in the NFS extended group can be updated 5 minutes later.
