sshd, pam and expired passwords
It seems I have managed to hit the ages-old problem of not being able to enforce changing of expired passwords when logging in via ssh. This problem existed years ago in potato but I cannot seem to find any mention of its existence or non-existence in woody. What is the situation at the moment? Is there a way to enforce changing of expired passwords via ssh which uses PAM to authenticate itself? If it is possible, which I very much require to reduce my workload and the frustration of the users, wich configuration items are relevant in sshd_config, /etc/pam.d/(passwd|login|sshd)? Are there any other relevant configuration items? -- --- | Juha Jäykkä, [EMAIL PROTECTED], Assistant | | Laboratory of Theoretical Physics | | Department of Physics, University of Turku| | home: http://www.utu.fi/~juolja/ | --- pgpqGp34i15wK.pgp Description: PGP signature
