You are about to (re)set the password of the above user.

 1. Double-check that this is indeed the correct user
 2. Pick a new password from the list below, and spice up with a number

To abort, type a blank password (just press enter) twice

Suggested new passwords (random but pronouncable):
EOF
gpw
passwd "$user"
chage -M"$MAXDAYSTEMP" -W"$WARNDAYSTEMP" "$user"
echo
cat <<EOF
Password correctly (re)set!

The new password lasts only "$WARNDAYSTEMP" days, so instruct user to
change it soon!
EOF

exit 0
