dear list.
I've sent a mail, a few days ago, and did not receive any replies... let me try again.. I'm sure some of know the issue, and are able to shed some light on it. (i had tow questions, this time i'll split the post in two seperate mails, maybe that's better..?)
Yes, IMO it is. That way the subject is consistent with the message. :)
Anyway: I've just setup suse 9.1, ftp install. I've added some users, and and somehow, every morning when i try to logon with my (normal, no root) user id, it says: password has expired, and i have to change it. (expiration date is set to somewhere in 2010... and yes, system time is current) (and it happened every morning for a week now)
Could it have something to do with passwords being checked every night,
Without knowing the cause, that is a possibility.
and the system finding my password too weak? This is just a test setup, don't want to have difficult passwords in a test setup...
1) What do you use to check the paswords? 2) Since when do you check the passwords? 3) Does (temporary?) turning off the password check help? Cheers, Leen
