I can't believe how many replies I got for this.
The feature is only directly supported with enhanced security, but there are
a few options for doing it.
With enhanced security, you can use dxaccounts to force a user to change
password.
While creating a user, Go to Add -> Security, then at the bottom of
the "Security Controls" dialog, you will find "Force Password Change at Next
Login" (Make sure that the "Turn To" is pointing to "Password Controls").
Or you can do it on the command line
# useradd -x passwd_must_change=1 administrative_lock_applied=0 foo
Others are using custom C programs and scripts to handle this, which appears
to be the only way to do it without installing enhanced security.
Thanks to everyone who replied!
