Date: 7 Apr 1993 11:05:56 -0500 Organization: Armstrong Lab MIS, Brooks AFB TX Lines: 15 Message-ID: <1puu54INN11e@hrd769.brooks.af.mil> NNTP-Posting-Host: hrd769.brooks.af.mil Has anyone implemented any of the code required for passwd expiration? Currently, in the passwd program, the change flag is set to 0. If I replace this with a call to time(), is there any software that will help manage the passwords? Is there anything, anywhere in 386bsd, that references the expire flag? This feature would also be handy to have, especially for us in the "You're fired" world. It is nice to be able to have a user-id that is marked as will be expired, but is still there... -- ------ TSgt Dave Burgess NCOIC AL/Management Information Systems Office Brooks AFB, TX
