Title: Trying to Get a verion of XFree86-xdm to handle Expired Password

We are running XFree86-4.1.0-50.EL on RedHat 2.4.9-e.30.

If the user is logging in at the console and
his/her password is near expiration this causes
xdm to shutdown gracefully leaving the user at
a command line login.  It never tells the user of
the nearing expiraton.

Is there a versoin of XFree86 that handles the
upcoming expiration of password message?

Other versions of xdm recognizes a file called
xdmpasswd with is a script that gets a reason
code based on the exit status of xdm which can
do the right thing if it's because of a password
expiration.

I've seen other people post a similar question
but I've not found any answers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark
