I know 3.X is going the PAM route, but this box is still
2.2.7-RELEASE (it's only acting as an IMAP server).

I want new accounts to telnet to the machine and change
their passwords to something they'll remember, so I've set
the 6th field in /etc/master.passwd to :1:. On testing, I am
correctly told my password is expired, but if I don't change
it, I am allowed to log in (BTW, the passwords are blank at
the moment).

Is there a param in /etc/login.conf that I can set, such
that I can refuse a login if the password isn't changed? I
have RTFM, but I'm unclear if some of the variables refer to
account expiration rather than password expiration.

Cheers,
Adam.
