Re: Adding menu options

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

 Thanks Yan.   I thought about that but all the users that had LMTCPB 
*NO have already changed their passwords and I'd hate to force them to 
change again.  Also, I don't know what user ID's are for connecting to 
other systems and I don't know what effect it would have on those 
profiles. I guess I could dump the user information to an outfile and 
then expire the passwords on *just* the the users with LMTCPB *YES.

I appreciate the idea.
