I have password aging set up for normal user accounts.
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?
