OpenSSH password expiration

[ssing at amkor.com]

Hi Darren, we are running 3.9p1 and 3.8.1p1 on Solaris 7 and Solaris 8
systems, respectively.  I recently tested it again and could not get it to
work.  I cleared my password in NIS+ and when I tried to ssh into our NIS+
master server (hexadecimal), it will not give me an option to choose new
password (see below).  However, when I use telnet, I was able to change my
password.  Is there some special PAM or OpenSSH configuration that I need
to use?

I have been googling on this subject and could not find any solution.

Thanks for your help.

This has been fixed since OpenSSH 3.8x.  What version are you using and
on which platform(s)?
