I've got a system where I've replaced the /bin/passwd program
with an expect script which updates a samba account database whenever
a user changes their unix password. It all works fine, EXCEPT...if
I force a password change by setting 'u_psw_change_reqd' in edauth for
that user.

If I do that, upon login the user enters the standard unix 'passwd'
changing program, and not my script! So it's not calling /bin/passwd !
What is it calling? How can I tell it to use my /bin/passwd and not
the standard system one?

I'm using Tru64 5.1

Thanks,

Paul
