When adding a user to a system, I am required by a client's security policies
to set a one time password that must be changed by the user the first time
she logs in. Is there a simple way to do this?
1) Obviously, a slightly complex way would be to add the user, and then insert
the present day and time into the change field in his entry in master.passwd
(with appropriate setting of password-dead, etc. in login.conf). Is there a
program that will give the present date and time as seconds since the Epoch?
2) This also helps with the interesting 'feature' that when root sets a
password for a user, a password expire time is NOT set, even with
passwordtime set in login.conf. Is there a way to change this behavior
without modifying the source?
Thanks!
