As in, how do I make it work? I want my users to change their passwords (at
least) once a year (that's not often, but it's all that's required on our
trusted system). So, effective whenever I make the changes, I want the users
to be forced to change them, then be able to change them again whenever they
want, but at least yearly. Seems like "weeks valid" should be 52 ('O'), and
"min. weeks before changing should be 0 ('.'), and I have no idea what the 
last part should be ("date last changed in weeks since 1970").

I tried this:
	name:passwd,0.    etc. in the passwd file,
but all that did was make me change my passwd in an infinite loop...

Thanx for any suggestions.

(Model 9000/835 hp-ux 7.0, the man pages aren't much help.)
