I thought the same and used that command line switch but it has another meaning. There's a difference between expiry of a password and expiry of an account. /EXPIRES means the latter while we need the former meaning. There seem to be no `net user' switch for password expiry. Which in turn results in the sshd_server password expiring after 42 days by default :-( Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Developer mailto:cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat, Inc. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
