We don't use password expiration, but have the Change field set to a given number of days such that the client needs to change his or her password at that time. If I need to reset someone's password, I choose an agreed-upon password but give it a change date of today so that it is already in need of renewal and the client will change it to something that hopefully only they know. The chpass command has a -e flag for expiration, but is there a quicker way to modify the Change field than using chsh and then manually modifying the Change line?
