RE: force password change on first logon

["Jenkins, Michael" <Michael.Jenkins@disney.com>]

The format is  "Dec 1, 2000".  I modified my change
field to "Dec 1, 2000", tried to login, and got
"Sorry -- your password has expired." .

The following as the initial shell will do:
(add the filename to /etc/shells)

	#!/bin/sh
	if /usr/bin/passwd
	then
		/usr/bin/chpass -s /bin/ksh
		exec /bin/ksh -l
	fi
