When I run:
$ passwd -e <username>
To expire a password for a user and then try to log back in for that
user it says that I need to update my password. and then I get back to
the login prompt.
>You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced)
I am expecting that it will ask to make a new password:
>login: adm1
>password: *******
>WARNING: Your password has expired
>You must change your password now and login again!
>Changing password for adm1
>Old password:
>Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters)
>Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers
>New password:
>Re-enter new password:
>Password changed.
The man page for login implies I should be able to set it at login time:
--------------------------------
If password aging has been enabled for your account, you may be
prompted for a new password before proceeding. You will be forced to
provide your old password and the new password before continuing.
Please refer to passwd(1) for more information.
--------------------------------
Am I doing something wrong from a sysadmin point of view or is there
some compile option that needs to be used to get the behavior that I
want ?
Thanks
