SSH will not force change password

[borgliu]

HI

in AIX,
if root change one user's password, for example , root change user1's password as "abc123" ,
when user1 login with telnet, and enter the password "abc123" , it will force user1 to change password again

but if I login with ssh, when user1 input the password "abc123, it just login, aix not force user1 to change the password,
is anyone know why ? and any solution ?

I also found this will happened in solaris system
my guess is SSH only reference the password files (/etc/shadow in soalris or /etc/security/passwd in AIX) will not reference any OS security setting files

Am I right ?

thanks

Depends what version your using in the case of OpenSSH, handling of forced password changes was a new feature from version 3.8.

the SSH version is 3.8p1
is any parameter should be set in sshd_config ?
