1692.0. "XSessionManager resources" by CSCMA::J_BUSH () Tue Nov 07 1989 14:30

    Hello,
    
    Does anyone know if the resources in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/
    XSessionManager which appear to allow for password "aging" and
    password generation, work? There are several lines which start
    with:
    
    *SetPasswordDialog.SetPassword...
    (one of these lines is followed by: "Your password has expired.
    Please enter a new password.")
    
    and
    
    *SetPasswordDialog.GenerateMayLabel...

    I'm running UWS v2.1 and wondered if this is something used by VMS
    alone or is there now a way for Ultrix to implement these features.
    
    Thanks for any help on this.

    P.S. This is also being posted in Ultrix notes.

    I found out that the resources which are used for password aging,
    and password generation, are VMS specific. Ultrix has no intention,
    at this point, to implement these features. In future releases, the
    app-defaults file for the prompter should not be confusing in this
    way.
