passwd option in Linux

Hi,

Does anyone know whether there is a command in RedHat 7.0 to force a user to change his passwd at next logon just like HP's 'passwd -f' ?

Regards,
Patrcik

Hi Patrick,
Not pretty sure if there is a straight command.

But you can use chage command to manipulate what you want.

Re: passwd option in Linux

Hi,

A Trick read somewhere,

# chage -M 730 test

set password expiry after two years

# chage -d 1999-01-01 test

set last password change to two years back than the system date.

Now the user test will be forced to change his
password .

Re: passwd option in Linux

in one command:

#chage -M 2 -d 2002-10-29 user

when maxdays(M) + lastday (d) are less than current day the user will be forced to change the passwd immediately. See the manpage..
