Jim,
You can set a the max number of days a password is valid. Set it to 0 or 1. I run
Debian, not Red Hat so maybe passwd is different?
>From the man page:
Password expiry information
The password aging information may be changed by the super user
with the -x, -n, -w, and -i options. The -x option is used to set
the maximum number of days a password remains valid. After max
days, the password is required to be changed. The -n option is
used to set the minimum number of days before a password may be
changed. The user will not be permitted to change the password
until min days have elapsed. The -w option is used to set the
number of days of warning the user will receive before their pass
word will expire. The warning occurs warn days before the expira
tion, telling the user how many days until the password is set to
expire. The -i option is used to disable an account after the
password has been expired for a number of days. After a user
account has had an expired password for inact days, the user may
no longer sign on to the account.
