In CMS v12, I know that to change a User's password you need to login as root, then type passwd <user id> but can you reset the User so that when they login next time the server will prompt them to create a new password before continuing to login?

Thanks

Does anyone have a quarter, I need to make a phone call?
 
Try using your procedure, but instead of entering the new password just hit return.

passwd -d <userid> deletes the password to blank and forces the system to ask for a new password.
 
There was a FAQ on this...

Thanks,
