In Linux you can use the -e parameter to expire the password immediately and force the user to change the password on the next login. Avi On Monday, Apr 7, 2003, at 16:37 America/Chicago, Ken Schneider wrote:
At our place of employment we have over 500 users and yes some do forget their passwords. I do/will not set passwords for them. I will set a temporary password and force them to change it on their next login. We are using SCO unix and it has a passwd parameter -f = force change at next login. Does anyone on this list know if there is a simular command under linux?
Also our passwords are set to expire every 6 months which causes users to set a new password.
