Searched info on usermod and passswd and couldn't figure it out.
How do I force a user to change password the next time he logs in?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks. I still have a question though. Example:
testdummy:mbjdfWfNf6Eto:10710:0:0:7:::
implies that the user's password expires after 0 days. But in practice
this means that the user will have to change his password every day
(time?) he

If you are using shadow passwords (/etc/shadow exists) look at
`man 5 shadow', otherwise look at `man 5 passwd'.

When you create a user, touch a file in their directory called .newuser
In the .bash_profile or .profile or .cshrc or whatever have the script
check for the existance of this file. If found, it execs the passwd
command and then delete the .newuser file.

The .bash_profile solution works, but then if the user changes his default

anymore... Is there any
How about using 'chage'. I think you probably need to play with the -M
and -d switches. BTW chage is in the passwd package.
