hi
#passwd -f

This will tell the user on next login like,

Your password has expired. Choose a new one
Changing password for
Old password:

thanks folks,

Actually i need to know how to set it.
For example say the user ramkra and kuppsin and chingl are the new user, so as a admin we need to create the account for those. so after giving some passwd to those users, if they login for the first time with their user id and passwd , the system will ask the user to change the passwd ..

how to set this?

Go back and read the responses.

Once the user has been created, you use the 'passwd -f ' to force them to reset their password after the first login.
