creating new user account password.
I know I can create a new user account having a password same as the user name. After logging in the first time using the user account name as the password, I want to force the user to create a new password. Is there a way to do that? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

You can set the password to expire virtually immediately: pw usermod -n username -p +1m or add the '-p +1m' bit to the 'pw useradd' line used to create the account. I believe this will mean the user is required to set a new password on login after the password has expired. Might be an idea to test that though. Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

Cheers, Matthew Thank you both, Matthew and Greg I added -p 12-12-12 as a date in the past day 12 month 12 year 12. I tested and right after entering the account name pw I was asked for a new password. That is what I wanted. Matthew gave me the -p option to use on the pw adduser command and Greg gave me the clue to use a date in the past. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
