Thanks! man chage If you're ever curious about how to do something and don't know where to start try the 'apropos' command. Were you to type 'apropos password' you would see 'chage' come up as about the third entry :) Good luck! Chuck Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
