For your cron script you could do something like this also. This is just something I typed up really fast, and haven't tested, but you can get the idea. That way you don't have to remember to go back and add people to cron that you add to the system. Then you could also add people to your "grep -v" list that you don't want to have that short 30 minute policy.

Code:
EXPIREPASSWD=`cat /etc/passwd | sed 's/:.*//' | egrep -v "root|daemon|bin|sys|adm|lp|uucp|nuucp|smmsp|listen|gdm|webservd|postgres|svctag|nobody|noaccess|nobody4"`
for x in $EXPIREPASSWD
do passwd -f $x
done

w2kusers.deny(4)					     Kernel Interfaces Manual						  w2kusers.deny(4)

NAME
w2kusers.deny - Authentication file for Windows 2000 Single Sign On. SYNOPSIS
# Comment account_name DESCRIPTION
The w2kusers.deny is a text file containing a list of user account names. When an account is included in this file, the Windows 2000 Sin- gle Sign-On software verifies only the UNIX authentication for the named account. To add user accounts to the file, use a text editor to enter the user's UNIX account name. The following syntax rules apply to the w2kusers.deny file: Only one user name can be entered on a line. The user name must exactly match a user name in the UNIX /etc/passwd file. Comment lines begin with a pound sign (#). EXAMPLES
The following example shows a typical w2kusers.deny file: # The following file lists account names that are not allowed to use # the Win- dows 2000 authentication information when it is enabled. # Account names must match exactly the user account name in the # /etc/passwd file. # # Syntax: account_1 # . # . # . # account_n # root nobody nobodyV daemon bin uucp uucpa auth cron lp tcb adm ris wnn pop imap Peter Dave Beth Martha FILES
