People can learn a lot from this site. To force the user to change the password at next login we will use the command # chage -d 0 but here my question is , i want to make this as a default setting, which means whenever i create a new users, those users should be prompted to change the password at their first login. Please let me know how to do it..Thanks in advance. Hi Ramesh,

When a user in Linux wants to change their password, it won't let them use a word based on a dictionary reference. Yet, as root it complains, but changes. What can I look at to determine why it won't let a user change their own password if it's a "dictionary" word? How can I put it back to where a user can change their password to whatever they want?
