kful. In my understanding sendmail is not a daemon. It gets called whenever mail needs to be sent, but I may be wrong. I am using exim instead of sendmail, and it doesn't seem to run residently. -- Arcady Genkin "I opened up my wallet, and it's full of blood..." - GsYDE

Forcing password change for a user

ice that line "is local_blah here"? Change local_blah for your local machine's user name. For other options read "man fetchmail", it's really well-written. If you have any questions after that, don't hesitate to post. :) -- Arcady Genkin "I opened up my wallet, and it's full of blood..." - GsYDE

day (time?) he logs in. This is not what I needed. I wanted to set a one-time password expiry scheme, that would allow me to force a user change password _the first time_ he logs in. Thanks for any input! -- Arcady Genkin "I opened up my wallet, and it's full of blood..." - GsYDE

he first time a user logs on? I think I could make a loop in the script, exit condition of which would be successful termination of passwd, right? But then, does CNTRL-C terminate execution of the script or only of the current command in the script?
