[CentOS] Password Expiry
Hello, Is there any command / option available on CentOS to expire a user's password immediately ? I remember using passwd -e on some other distribution but the -e option does not seem to be present on CentOS 5.x. Thanks, Manish ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
