I'm setting up a secure IMAP server with imaps. I want to add a bunch of users with /sbin/nologin as their shell. I want them to make their own passwords on first login. After making an account for username: test # chage -d 0 test That forces the user to change the password on login, but since they can not login, this happens during an ssh to machine: $ ssh my-server -l test test@my-server's password: You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced) Your password has expired, the session cannot proceed. Connection to file-server closed. $ So, is it possible to set up accounts with /sbin/nologin and force them to change their passwords securely? Maybe the whole idea is crazy?
