User's and managing expired passwords
...equires all user passwords to expire after 90
days. We also use puppet for managing all users on our machines. Our
hope was, when our passwords expire, we could update the puppet
manifest which would propogate to all our servers, thus updating all
our passwords.
The problem is, the User type (w/ manage_passwords enabled and ruby-
shadow installed) will only set the password in /etc/shadow, but it
doesn''t manage any of the other shadow parameters, namely the
sp_lstchg parameter). As a result, after our 90-day period, all of
our passwords have updated, but the individual machines still think
that...
