I have been banging my head (and the keyboard with google.com/linux) trying to come up with an answer/solution.
When setting up a new user, I want to be able to expire the user's temporary password, allowing the user to login with the temporary password, but force him/her to create his own password on the first login. I know how to set the INACTIVE value in the /etc/shadow file, but is there a command to modify the account without manually modifying the /etc/shadow create date (to expire) to do this?
