Notifying Users of Mandatory Password Changes


Hi there --

Is there a script or some other program that will check the age of the users' passwords and notify them when it is close to the time when to change them? I am running a Fedora Core 5 system. Thanks.

Here's a snip from man chage
Quote:

-W, --warndays WARN_DAYS
Set the number of days of warning before a password change is
required. The WARN_DAYS option is the number of days prior to
the password expiring that a user will be warned his/her
password is about to expire.
