Password Expiry Promtps Not Visable
Hi all.

On our systems we use the password expiry through the shadow file. This was recently implemented and the first round of expiry has just arrived.

The problem that i have is that when users are attempting to log on to a box (directory through putty) there are no prompts displayed if your new password does not meet the appropriate criteria.

For example, if you enter a 7 digit password as the new one, there should be a message advising that 'Password too short - must be at least 8 characters.'. this is not visable when logging directly on to a box using putty. However, if you log on to another box and ssh to the box with the expired password, it does display that message.

The problem i have is that all will expire at the same time so the ssh option would be out of the question for majority of users!

Anyone got any ideas why this would be happening through putty or have any other ideas?

Thanks in advance

Boneyard.
