Hmmm... I never checked into that. I always just did it as accounts got
created. I never had to do a mass conversion. Julie is on this list, and
she wrote the thing, so maybe she could answer the question better, but I
don't think chage accepts wildcards at all. A bash script for this
shouldn't be too hard to cook up, though.

That link I sent in the last message I posted really does cover it in great
detail. I expect you'll find everything you need there.
Good luck!
Caity
