I am running RedHat Enterprise ES version 3.0. Whenever I do an
initial load and setup the users, everything works fine. When I
shutdown the machine and take onsite, the system does not prompt the
users for a password change. I am setting up the users as follows:
1. Add user to system
useradd -c "comment" -m -n newuser
2. Force immediate password expiration
chage -d 0 newuser
3. Unlock account and set initial password to null
/usr/sbin/usermod -p "" newuser
Again, upon inital setup, the accounts are created and upon the first
login, the user is prompted to change their password. After I
shutdown the machine and take to the site, the users are not even
prompted for a password and they are not asked to change, even if I
reissue the command (chage -d 0 newuser).
HELP!
