openssh unix dev - Apr 2007 - Password enforcement problem with OpenSSH on AIX.

Hello,

I've encountered a password enforcement problem with OpenSSH on AIX.  In
AIX, when the user contains the flags = ADMCHG in the
/etc/security/passwd file, the user is forced to change the password at
next login.  It works for telnet but it does not work under the OpenSSH
v3.4 version.  Based on my research, it appears this issue is resolved
with OpenSSH v3.8p1.  Can anyone confirm?
Thank you,
-Gerry

Yes, support was added around that version, however it's only enforced 
when you actually use password authentication.  If you're upgrading I 
would recommend the latest version, 4.6p1.
