User account password

Hi

How to make new user account change their password when they login for the first time.

I have Redhat Linux OS installed on the server.

Thanks

Re: User account password

Howdy,
If I remember correctly you can force a change at next login by doing
# passwd -f

Regards
Ian

Re: User account password

Use:

chage -d 0 username

Por que hacerlo dificil si es posible hacerlo facil? - Why do it the hard way, when you can do it the easy way?
