Change password expired warning message?


I'm a and posted this in SW originally. Sorry! I have multiple flavors that I want to achieve the same thing on...

We sync user passwords across seven Linux servers. The user logs into a specific server, changes their password, and it is propagated out from there to the other servers. My problem is this: when their password expires across the board and the user logs into one of the other servers, it asks to change the password locally. Thus, they are no longer synced.

How do you change the default message "WARNING: Your password has expired. You must change it and log back in." (followed by the password prompt) to something else? I can't seem to find which config file this might be. Ideally, I would want it to display a message like "Please log into XXXX server and change your password" and then auto logout when hitting RETURN.

I'm open to other solutions.
