I think I probably need to look at this in more detail. What I probably need to do is create a password with a limited life 2 day? when they are created and force them to change it at first logon I probably need to pay more attention to the password aging stuff and have a read. They need to use telnet as it a propriety solution (texpress) that uses some bizzare set up of telnet on the client.

G'day Jeff,
chage -l <username>
should give you a clue. Here's a RH SA Guide entry that might help...

warning - that will have wrapped.
Cheers Glen
Thanks For that didn't even know it existed.
by the way it say it doesn't work for ssh any idea if it does for telnet

it sure looked as though it just worked on my machine via ssh
G'day Ben,
What "just worked" on your machine via SSH? You cannot use SSH to login to an expired account in a normal install of RedHat and a "Good Thing"(tm) too. I know that RH documentation should not be considered infallible but in the context they are right this time.

thanks for the clue
