Hi Mates,

I need help with defining preliminary password to new users. I would like that the user would be forced to change his password on the first time he logon to the system.

Could someone help me with this issue?

Thanks.

when you initially add a user with

addusr. it prompts you a series of question from user name
login, group membership. At the end it prompt you if you would like the user to change password next time the users logs on. Hopefully this can help you.
