[rhn-users] force user to change password on first login

[Raj Kumar]

  Hi Richard!

I tried that before. The error message I get is
  
You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced)
Your password has expired, the session cannot proceed.
Connection to testserver closed

The user does not get to the prompt to change password. How else can he change the password if he doesnt have access to the shell?

thank you,
Raj
