trust/password

minmoo — Mon, 07 Jan 2002 09:00:42 GMT

hi,
I converted to a trusted system using a tsconvert command.
When users first login a trusted system, get the following message.

login: mmm
Password:
Last successful login for mmm: Mon Jan 7 17:42:32 KST-9 2002
Last unsuccessful login for mmm: NEVER
Your password has expired.
Changing password for mmm
Old password:

Users don't want to change their password.
How can i solve it?

Hi there.
On a system, taht is not trusted, you can change the password setup ( password aging ).
As far as i know, this is not possible for a trusted system.

Hi,

Change the password expiration (determined by the field u_exp) in /tcb/files/auth/*/*. You can write a script to change for all users if you want.

man 4 prpwd for more information.

u_exp This field is a time_t value that specifies when the account password will expire. When a password expires, system authentication programs will request that the password be changed when the user logs into the system. If the password lifetime expires before the password is changed, the account will be locked.

Hope this helps. Regards.
