# passwd -f user

Force user to change password upon next login by expiring the current password.

Instead of asking new password it give following output, Can you please give me exact systex so that it will ask to hange user password on first login.

Last successful login for test123: Fri Jan 21 10:54:23 GMT0BST 2005
Last unsuccessful login for test123: Fri Jan 21 10:52:18 GMT0BST 2005 on pts/1
Your password has expired.
su: Password for test123 has expired. Choose new password and try again
su: Sorry

Hi,

Create the user as you normally would when you add a user and then as Robert-Jan says do "# passwd -f username" and then the user will be required to enter a new passwd at their first login.

Or if you are using SAM there is an option to make the password valid until first logon. This will then force the user to change pwd after the first login.

Hi,

Sorry, you will have to assign a password when you create the user and then supply it to the user so they can change it.

Peter,

I tried the same. I created user with a specific password. then I ran passwd -f loginid command. And then tried logging with that id again. Upon giving old password, it gives following,

$ su - test123
Password:
Last successful login for test123: Fri Jan 21 10:54:23 GMT0BST 2005
Last unsuccessful login for test123: Fri Jan 21 10:52:18 GMT0BST 2005 on pts/1
Your password has expired.
su: Password for test123 has expired. Choose new password and try again
su: Sorry

Pradeep,
try without the su command.
So log on via telnet as the user test123
Anty difference?

Pradeep on telnet its working fine..

Using "passwd -f loginid" resolved my problem
