PASSWD, SYSTEM_MANAGEMENT, Password Utility Routines PWDEXP - takes one parameter, the username. Displays date password last changed, date password will expire, password lifetime, and, if set displays DISUSER flag. PWDSET - username parameter required. Will prompt for new password which is not echoed. It then prompts for password verification, again not echoed. This procedure bypasses the history, dictionary, and length restrictions of AUTHORIZE. It is intended for use by system managers in unusual situations, and should not be made available globally. The provided images are VMS 7.1 and DecC 5.6 but there should be no problem rebuilding in other environments. Each utility attempts to check for required privs, but use with approriate caution.
