What information related to a user account is modified using the chage command?
The chage command is used to change and view password expiry information for a user account. It allows administrators to set parameters such as the maximum number of days a password is valid, the number of days of warning before a password change is required, and the account expiration date. It does not deal with file ownership, group membership, available commands, or permissions for new files.
