I IS reassuring to see that Sun can't get Sun support better than
anyone else. No, I have never found a password aging this with NIS.
The trick I've used it to have a program nightly look at the SOURCE
map and store the information/user with the date. (using perl) Do
a dbm lookup against USER to get PASSWORD (encrypted). If it's different,
run CRACK on it and store it and note the date (a separate DBM map).
After an aging time, send mail to the user, after a period (three weekdays)
change it to "EXPIRED" and rebuild NIS. It's weak in that until this job
is run, the password could be "password" and be vulnerable. But it's
better than nothing.
If you want to send us source for YPPASSWD, I'll be happy to improve it ;)
