Notification to inform the user about a pending password expiry

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • GDM shows a brief notification message that a users password will expire in X days.
  • The message is displayed underneath the password prompt when the graphical login is used.
  • This message scrolls through very fast and a user might miss the notifications until the password finally expires and needs to get changed.
  • Warning message is not at all displayed while unlocking the screen-saver.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
