Re: [webmin-l] Force Webmin user password change

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Dave,
Right now, the only way to do this is to create a Unix user with the same=
 name as the Webmin user, and configure the Webmin user to use the 'Unix =
authentication' password mode.

Then, install the Authen::PAM perl module, and make sure /etc/pam.d/webmi=
n exists, then restart Webmin. Finally, set the expiration date of the Un=
ix user's password to the current date. When he logs into Webmin, he shou=
ld be prompted to change his password.

Perhaps in future I will add better support for password expiry to Webmin=
's own authentication system, so that PAM doesn't need to be involved.

     Force Webmin user password change
    Is there a way to force a Webmin user to undergo a password change?=20
  When I create a new Webmin user, I supply a temporary password. I would=
 like to have the user be forced to do a password change the first time s=
he logs in.
  Thanks=20
