UNIX ID Password Expiration

We are trying to implement an Password Aging system that will force UNIX Accounts to change their passwords every 3 mons or so. This will be done my our Server Support Provider.

We want to identify UNIX IDs that connects to our server via ftp,scp,sftp and other special connection protocols. IN short, we want the Password Aging scheme to hit only IDs that connect using regular login.

Is there a way to identify "special ids" with "regular ones"???

Thanks for your help. Let me know if you need other details.

other info: our server is HP_UX.

- i already posted this under Scripting... hope to hear from guys expert in HP-UX. Thanks!

NAME
password-gorilla -- a password manager SYNOPSIS
password-gorilla DESCRIPTION
The Password Gorilla helps you manage your logins. It stores all your user names and passwords, along with login information and other notes, in a securely encrypted file. A single "master password" is used to protect the file. This way, you only need to remember the single master password, instead of the many logins that you use. If you want to log in to a service or Web site, the Password Gorilla copies your user name and password to the clipboard, so that you can easily paste it into your Web browser or other application. Because the password does not appear on the screen, Password Gorilla is safe to use in the presence of others. The convenience of Password Gorilla allows you to choose different, non-intuitive passwords for each service. An integrated random password generator can provide one-time passwords, tunable to various services' policies. FILES
The program creates a configuration file .gorillarc in the homedirectory of the user. REPORTING BUGS
