Email notification of password expiration

[Mike Smith_33]

I received a request from a user to send him an email at some point before his password expires. Yes I have the system warning set! He still wants to know if I could have the system email him. Has anyone out there done this? I am just checking to see if this wheel has been invented already before I waste any time on it.

Thanks in advance.

Shalom,

I've written reports based on the passwd -sa command.

You can also set up the notification and actually have /etc/profile send the notice by trapping the warning message.

Hi Mike,
you can use the Bill Hassell's script userinfo (attached). It requires to be root to run it, otherwise if you are not able to log as root I can provide you another script which uses passwd -s for each user you want to analyze but it requires an entry in .rhosts.
HTH,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. The script works great.
