Re: How to create user that ask for passwd the first connection

You should make a script and put it in /etc/profile. This script should check if a particular file exists (eg. /home/newuser/.firstlogin) and then executes the passwd program.

script file or code should be something like that

...
if [ -f $HOME/.firstlogin ]; then
if passwd then;
rm -f $HOME/.firstlogin
fi
fi
...


Sure you have to create /home/user/.firstlogin
when you create the user

Hope it helps.
Peace, R>

To do this you should install the enhanced security, as specified in
man login

Look at there and you'll probably find the answer.

There's information on setting up and using Enhanced Security in the Security manual (or Security Administration manual for V5.1B)

There is at least this option within Enhanced Security.

The user account entry in the password protected database needs to have present the keyword field identifier:
:u_psw_change_reqd:

This can be applied through the usermod program

# usermod -x passwd_must_change=1
