set popup for password aging

[CCIL]

Hi All,



How to set the pop ups for notifications given
by passwd aging.I am getting the warnings for
passwd aging as soon as the user loggs in to
his default console.

Hi,
can you clarify what you want to do.
The messages are generated by the system, so it would take a lot to modify them.
However if you want to generate your own messages, you would have to trawl the password database to identify the aged passwords and then display your message i.e. write your own system

Hi Peter,

I think these notifications are generated before /etc/profile file is executed and this profile file contains /etc/copyright,
/etc/motd and other parameters which get executed.Because of this there are chances
that user may miss out with password notifications.You wrote the notifications
are system generated , but from where the
notifications are generated.
Please provide me all the scripts which get
executed at user login(System wide and user wide before /etc/profile)

Hi,
I understand the messages are generated by the login process, same as an expired password triggers the change password process.
This happens before any other sript is executed.

The -a option on logins may be of interest to you.
