Re: Trying to force password change in SuSE Linux, pam_ldap, openldap 2.1

["Kurt D. Zeilenga" <Kurt@OpenLDAP.org>]

This functionality has nothing to do with OpenLDAP Software...
OpenLDAP itself doesn't force any password to change.  (OpenLDAP
might be used to store information used by other applications,
but what they store and how they use it is their business.)
Suggest you take this to a more appropriate mailing list.
Maybe <pamldap@padl.com> or some SuSE Linux list.  You can
find some points to Linux LDAP How-to in our FAQ
<<http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=60>http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=60>.

Run passwd --help you will see that this flag should set the force password change on next login for the given user.  However, when I execute this command I get the error:
