Under F9, I want to create an account such that the user will be

how soon (or late) the user will get to that first login. Is there a way
to do it? The passwd command didn't look like it had anything useful.
You can use "usermod -f -1 -e YYYY-MM-DD
The "-f -1" says that the account is never locked, but the "-e
YYYY-MM-DD" says "the password expired on year YYYY, month MM and day
DD". If you set that to today, e.g.
usermod -f -1 -e 2008-10-28 fred
user fred will have to change his password on the next login. See
"man usermod" for details.
