I need to implement a password aging capability for my FreeBSD systems (5.0). This is mandated by my employer. I want to be able to have the user prompted to change the password every 30 days and disallow login if the password is not changed. It would be nice to have a password strength checker run as well before accepting the password. I figured out how to set the password expiry date but the password change field is not updated in the master.passwd file after the password is changed. It looks like I am going to have to write some scripts to handle this but I wanted to check with the list to see if any one could offer any pointers, gotchas, etc. Thanks. -- Glenn Johnson USDA, ARS, SRRC Phone: (504) 286-4252 New Orleans, LA 70124 e-mail: gjohnson@srrc.ars.usda.gov
