Re: userpasswd problem

[Janyne Kizer <janyne_kizer@xxxxxxxx>]

No, this is not a case of the password being expired or about to expire. 
 This happens when a regualr (non-root) user starts the userpasswd 
program either from command line or GUI menuing system.  This happens to 
all users, not just some users in some situations.
