[KLUG Members] Login time

[Dirk H Bartley]

It appears to me that the users have one minute to accomplish both.  That if a user is
logging in and the passwd must be changed and the passwd program comes up the time period
is from when they connect to the server until they have logged in AND changed the passwd
successfully.  I just want to change the time from 60 seconds to 120 or 180 seconds.

I am just not familiar wheather this would be a login setting or a telnet setting or where
this setting would be??  Neither man page tells me when I search for "time".  That does
not mean it's not there, just that I could not find it.  It is not a huge deal, just
something I was looking for and frustrated that I could not figure out.
