GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 629713
Provide more user feedback when password expires

Created attachment 170292 [details] [review] patch adding a message informing user of need to change password When you run "passwd -f (username)" to expire a users password, and then try to login via GDM the following happens: - user enters their username - user enters their password - The dialog prompt says "New password" - The user enters a new password - The dialog prompt says "Enter password again" - The user enters the same password, changes their password and their session starts. Some of our users were confused why the dialog was asking for a new password, and we are adding this code to show the user a message explaining that the user needs to enter their new password. This seems to make GDM a bit more usable and is a simple change. Should it go upstream?

Thanks, pushed with minor changes.
For the record, I reverted this in bug #758571 because it is redundant with a message from Linux-PAM.
