Robert, thank you for your reply. I have to admit I don't know which greeter we are using. I do a standard install from epel repo, then change as little as possible. How can I check this?

The likely cause is the greeter is showing the expired message then clearing / replacing it so the user can't actually see it. There is a small risk that LightDM (the daemon) changed behaviour, but I haven't seen other reports and there's quite extensive testing in the greeter for a behaviour change like this. > > Hope this helps, > --Robert > > On Mon, 15 Jan 2018 at 21:27 <johan.vermeulen7 at telenet.be> wrote: >> >> >> >> ----- Oorspronkelijk bericht ----- >> Van: "johan vermeulen7" <johan.vermeulen7 at telenet.be> >> Aan: "lightdm" <lightdm at lists.freedesktop.org> >> Verzonden: Donderdag 14 december 2017 14:23:30 >> Onderwerp: [LightDM] Centos7: passwd expired messages >> >> Hello All, >> >> first of all: thanks for creating lightdm, that we 've been using for ages. >> >> We run some 200 Centos7/Mate laptops, since last year they authenticate against freeipa. >> Lightdm/Mate are installed using epel repo. >> On Centos7.3/Lightdm 1.10.6-4.el7 things were al right, when a password expired, users would get the passwd expired field, the "new password" field en warnings if the made a mistake. >> Since upgrading to Centos7.4/Lightdm 1.25.0-1.el7 things go terribly wrong.
