[alt.sys.sun] password aging

System type: Sun4/280, SunOS4.1.1

I am looking for a script that I can implement on my system that will
prompt the users to change their password every xx days.  Thanks.

SunOS 4.1 has this built in.  See ``man passwd''.  Unfortunately,
``yppasswd'' doesn't know about it, so users can't change their password
remotely once password aging is enabled.  Maybe it's fixed in 4.1.1?
Is anyone using this?
