SSH-Password Expiry

[Frank Norgan]

I have an HP UX 11i box that is configured for SSH. User logon passwords are set to expire every 30 days on this box. When connecting via an SSH client to this box, the change password prompt (box) does not get presented to the SSH client when the user's password has expired.

We were using TELNET before SSH, and HPUX password expiry prompted users to change their expired passwords.

What is the trick to get the expiry password change request presented to the SSH client?

Thanks
Frank

Hi,
What version of ssh, r u using....?.
From OpenSSH 3.8, password expiry is supported.

I am not sure whether HP Secured Shell supports tihs. still, there are patches available to fix this problem on all OSes, I guess.

Also, you can use pam modules to do this.
