[SunHELP] Force a user to reset his/her password when he/she logs in for th e first time.

[Jeffrey Nonken]

Wow. THERE is an unnecessarily elaborate way of doing a simple job!

Instead, use the -f option of passwd.

-f

    Forces the user to change password at the next login by expiring the
password for name.
