SUMMARY(2): SSH2 & forcing password problem

there were some requests to say more about scripts...

so in fact it's nothing big;
1. creating user:
scipt creates user, set default (not blank!!!) start password and create
stamp-file (e.g. $LOGNAME.pass)
2. first login
in profile there is executed script to check if stamp-file exists, if yes,
user is asked for a new password (standard passwd $LOGNAME command);
after password has been changed stamp-file is deleted;
3. IMPORTANT: we cannot allow password to expire (SSH2 not support password
forcing!)
I've written script to check passwords' expire date, and if (lets say) 7 days
left, a stamp-file is created again and user is forced to change password
if use this idea, the passwords will never expire
4. change password
the script deletes the user's password (not necessary in fact), set default
one and create stamp-file to force user to change the default password during
the first login;

and it works fine for me:)
is this answer ok?
