Hi Gurus,

I understand that solaris NIS does not support password expiry.
But I was looking for some scripts/hacks which can help me in doing
that as there is problem in moving to NIS+ .We are having Nis master
on Solaris 5.5.1 ,clients are solaris/Linux boxes and yppasswd is used
for changing passwd.

Essentially I am looking for the following

- auto password expiry after centain interval and prompt for passwd.
- Notifying users say before 7 days of expiry.
- Declining to take used passwds.

Any help/pointers would be welcome.

Thanks,
Bibhas
