RE: Password change on first login via ssh

Hi Tomas,

Thanks a lot for this information.  I applied the most recent openssh
rpms (3.6.1p2-33.30.4.i386) to a test RH AS 3.0 system.  This worked in
that it now produces the same result as RH AS 2.1.  That is if the user
tries to log in remotely via ssh they are prompted for a 'password'.  If
the user type anything/gargage, and presses enter they will be then
prompted to change their password at first login.

But this of course still isn't ideal.  The expected result should be
that the user is prompted immediately to change their password.  (In the
case of a new users account, the user would not know what to enter if
the system prompts them to enter a password.)

As mentioned below this works well on a Gentoo box.  I noticed that it
seems to be broken again in RH 4.0 with  openssh-server-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.4.

Should I file a bugzilla report for this?

Thanks,

Boyd
