Hi,

I wish to create certain user accounts that will ask for a new passwd 
every 4 weeks, than 1 week after that lock them out.

As the server they are on will be an email server, I would have to 
create a script to email users that their passwd needs changing and will 
expire in 1 week from this notice (thus they then ssh in and change 
their passwd).

but looking thru man passwd & man useradd, I can see some form of 
referance to this but I can only see an option to input a date that the 
account will expire (and I'm under the impression that this will have to 
be set manually every time).
As I wish to have the above done automatically , without me setting a 
new date every 4 weeks.

Could anyone possably give me some advise on this please?

Cheers

Mark
