ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
am trying to set a default password AND also force the user to choose
password on first login through SMC. Is this possible?
i.e.
new user: apandey
def password: garbanzobeans
force user to choose password on next login: yes
I cannot seem to get this going using SMC or otherwise.
I need to do this since our database is frontended with a user interface
login screen which requires at sleast some sort of password i.e.
garbanzobeans. Then it will pop up a terminal screen and ask user to
change password if it recognizes this user lgging in for the first time.
Thnks,
RESPONSES:
passwd newuser (set the password)
passwd -f newuser
SUMMARY:
DON'T use smc, above sequence works fine. Even in two steps though.
Thanks,
Abhimanyu Pandey
