I can't seem to find it in the passwd man page and I know this is possible
(at least in HP-UX), but I've previously been able to set a one-time
password for new users (or if they'd forgotten their passwd) where upon
logging in, they'd be prompted to create a new password.
That's kind of a thick sentence, but in other words, say user 'foo' needed
to get her passwd reset. As the sys admin, I do a one-time passwd change
for the 'foo' user to 'bar'. Upon logging back in and entering her new
'bar' password, the 'foo' user is now prompted to change her password. She
cannot go further until she enters a new valid password the system likes.
Does this make sense?
Anyway, I'd really appreciate any info on this because I know it's possible
(at least in HP-UX so I'm presuming it's possible in linux), but for the
life of me, I can't find out how.
Thanks in advance,
-Charlie
