Description Joao Almeida 2004-04-27 14:37:48 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6)
Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

Description of problem:
The passwd command does not have the "-e" flag "The user will be
forced to change the password at next login." 
And there is not valid alternative to it.

This is a must have feature because in production systems the acount
setup will be done by one person and therefore there is a security
risk in it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
shadow-utils-4.0.3-7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man passwd
2. passwd -e
3.
    

Expected Results:  The user whould be force to change is password at
the next login.

Internal RFE bug #122109 entered; will be considered for future releases.

Comment 2 Suzanne Hillman 2004-05-27 15:42:23 UTC
This request should be brought to the upstream maintainer of shadow-utils.

Comment 3 Nalin Dahyabhai 2004-05-27 18:19:06 UTC
An alternative is "chage -d 0".
