Under F9, I want to create an account such that the user will be required to change the password on login, but I don't have control over how soon (or late) the user will get to that first login. Is there a way to do it? The passwd command didn't look like it had anything useful.
You can use "usermod -f -1 -e YYYY-MM-DD The "-f -1" says that the account is never locked, but the "-e YYYY-MM-DD" says "the password expired on year YYYY, month MM and day DD". If you set that to today, e.g. usermod -f -1 -e 2008-10-28 fred user fred will have to change his password on the next login. See "man usermod" for details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Memory is the second thing to go, but I can't remember the first! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
