password hardening & FTP access
I am dealing with an FTP server and I have implemented password hardening on the server. The thing is that, it applies to SSH connection.
I forcefully expired password of a user so that he can change password at next login. But the user logged in to the server through FTP and he wasn't asked to change his password. In that case user will never ever need to change his\her password and can continue accesing server even after the password is expired.
Is there any way to deal with this.
Can I force user to change password at FTP access?

nwvolinfo
NWVOLINFO(8) nwvolinfo NWVOLINFO(8)
NAME
nwvolinfo - Diplay info on NetWare Volumes
SYNOPSIS
nwvolinfo [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -v volume ] [ -N ]
DESCRIPTION
nwvolinfo displays information on a NetWare Server Volume.
nwvolinfo looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more informa-
tion. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons.
OPTIONS
-h
-h is used to print out a short help text.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the user name to use for login.
-P password
password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwvolinfo
prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if no password is required for the login.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
-v volume
The volume name to be used. Defaults to 'SYS'.
-N
Display the information in numeric-only format for use in a pipe.
