We have an Alpha 4100 running DU 3.2. The main application running on
the Digital Unix box is Lawson which is a financial database
application (using Oracle). The users connect to this application
with Lawson's client software running on their NT boxes. The problem
is when the users password expires on the Digital Unix box. They
never see the warnings because they are never directly logged into the
Unix box. One day they come in and their password is incorrect
because it's expired. Right now they have set password aging to 26
weeks until a solution can be found. Because the database contains
financial data the auditors are not happy about this.
The application folks have asked if a script can be written which the
users can run to let them know if their password is about to expire.
Apparently the application has a pulldown menu to which Unix scripts
can be added for the user to run. So..is there a utility that can be
run to let you know when your password is about to expire?
