Replying to [comment:1 tmraz]:
In the first case I'd still like to keep the information whether
the
password change was enforced by system administrator or that the password
expired.
How about:
You are required to change your password immediately (administrator
enforced)
You are required to change your password immediately (password expired)
Alternatively:
You are required by your system administrator to change your password
immediately
Your password has expired and you are required to change it immediately
Also the UNIX designation is ugly but it allows for distinguishing
between local and remote authentication. On the other hand if there are
multiple modules on the stack it will not work properly anyway so perhaps
it really should be removed.
I can't think of a better solution for this one. :( We could make it a
configure variable to let distros set it, perhaps:
(current) Fedora password:
Enter new Fedora password:
Retype new Fedora password:
But that seems kinda lousy....
