Edgar ,
Thanks for the advice , unfortunately , usermgmnt.conf doesn't allow you to
set a password to expire in 60 days , you would have to work out (or write
a script to update the file each day) , the date in 60 days time -
*expire* Sets the default time at which the new accounts expire.
Both
the expire and inactive fields should be entered in the form
``month day year'', where month is the month name (the first
three characters are sufficient), day is the day of the
month,
and year is the year. Time in seconds since the Epoch (UTC)
is also valid. A value of 0 can be used to disable this
feature.
Cheers daz
