Hi:
My company has started to implement hardened/expiring passwords on all
of its HP-UX UNIX servers. Prior to the change we had been using
Kermit 95 GUI (SSH v2 enabled) for about two months without any issues
(After some serious scripting work). Anyway, after the expiring
password change went into effect, we're finding that when a user's
login expires, they're not being being prompted to change their login.
As a result of this apparent limitation, they're contacting MIS and
we're resetting their passwords for their accounts. Obviously, that is
not a permenant solution to the problem. Anyone have any ideas?
Note: I've 'heard' that without the password the user's identify can't
be
authenticated, so SSH won't allow the unauthenticated person to
reset
the password. If this is true, then it would seem that SSH
password
authentication and expiring passwords are mutually exclusive.
