Does anyone know of a way that I can manually set an individual user's
password as expired, so that the next time they log in, they will
immediately have to change it?

I have, in the past, accidentally caused this to happen, but I can't seem to
reproduce the effect.  (The way I managed it did NOT involve manually
editing the etc/passwd file, although I have no problem with doing a manual
edit, if someone can explain to me what to put where.)

TIA
