Re: password problem

You could use the -x option with passwd command to specify the no. of days a password has to be changed after. Following is the extract from man page:

-x max Determine the maximum number of days, max, a password can remain unchanged. The user must enter another password after that number of days has transpired, known as the password expiration time.
