<p dir="ltr">Robert,</p>
<p dir="ltr">thank you for your reply.<br>
I have to admit I don't know which greeter we are using. I do a standard install from epel repo, then change as little as possible.<br>
How can I check this?</p>

The likely cause is the greeter is showing the expired message then clearing / replacing it so the user can't actually see it. There is a small risk that LightDM (the daemon) changed behaviour, but I haven't seen other reports and there's quite extensive testing in the greeter for a behaviour change like this.<br><br></div>Hope this helps,<br></div>--Robert<br><div><div><div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, 15 Jan 2018 at 21:27 <<a href="mailto:johan.vermeulen7@telenet.be">johan.vermeulen7@telenet.be</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>

Onderwerp: [LightDM] Centos7: passwd expired messages<br>
<br>
Hello All,<br>
<br>
first of all: thanks for creating lightdm, that we 've been using for ages.<br>
<br>
We run some 200 Centos7/Mate laptops, since last year they authenticate against freeipa.<br>
Lightdm/Mate are installed using epel repo.<br>
On Centos7.3/Lightdm 1.10.6-4.el7 things were al right, when a password expired, users would get the passwd expired field, the "new password" field en warnings if the made a mistake.<br>
Since upgrading to Centos7.4/Lightdm 1.25.0-1.el7 things go terribly wrong. Users very often get no warning if a password expired, just an authentication failure.<br>
Or they get no message at all.<br>
If at that point you got to tty....and log in you do get the warnings on the command line.<br>
The log files /var/log/secure also give clear password expired messages, only the user sees nothing.<br>
<br>
I don't know too many people who run Centos7 on the laptop let alone authenticate against freeipa, so I have no idea if this is a general problem.<br>
<br>
Many thanks for any help.<br>
<br>
Greetings, J.<br>

Hello All,<br>
<br>
sorry to bother you with the same problem as described above.<br>
<br>
I posted on the Freeipa mailing list but still have no solution.<br>
I ran various tests and the only thing that seems to work is replace lightdm with gdm, then passwd expire messages and other messages re-appear.<br>
The only thing still to test is downgrade lightdm.<br>
<br>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
greetings, J.<br>
