OpenSSH and password change login problems

[columb]

We're using
AIX 5.1 ML9
OpenSSH 3.8.1p1
OpenSSL 0.9.6.7
Various ssh clients, mostly PuTTY
The /etc/ssh/sshd_config and /etc/ssh/ssh_config are the 'out of the box' versions.

The scenario is
[ol]
[li]User's password expires while user is logged off[/li]
[li]User logs on and is prompted to change password[/li]
[li]User enters old password and new password twice[/li]
[li]User's session is closed, whether the password change is successful or not[/li]
[li]User has to connect again to see if the new password works[/li]
[/ol]
Whilst this is not the end of the world, after all the users can reconnect and try again, it is creating calls to the Help Desk who, in turn, are harassing an overworked Unix Support team.

Has anyone any ideas?

This drive me crazy about SSH.

I see the same thing with
OpenSSH_4.4p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7l 28 Sep 2006
and
OpenSSH_4.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004

also.... I set tty=/dev/console for users such as bin,adm...ssh seems to ignore this.

you could get something else besides ssh to manage authentication.

like aix, or pam.

Breslau - What do you mean..."like aix"? SSH is just a protocol not an "manager".
