I managed to fix the problem, but it still seems like a rather important thing to fix. I can't imagine that we're the only RHEL 3 installation that expires passwords as a way to force users to change them. In the end, I downloaded the Multi-platform Password Expiry patch to openssh 3.6.1p2 from http://www.zip.com.au/~dtucker/openssh/, opened up the openssh source RPM and edited the spec file to patch it in during prep and then rebuilt it using rpmbuild and replacing the installed package with the new one. Note that this wasn't a simple or straightforward procedure since I'm not terribly familiar with editing src RPMs, but it did get the job done. I've come across this issue as well, and was surprised to see it. Are there plans to release a patched version that will support expiry? |
