How do you handle password expiry for someone who never logs in with the Novell client?

As per above. There is no warning before expiry in that case.

AFAIR Groupwise checks user's password by doing LDAP bind and when password expires eDirectory just replies back with error.

Unfortunately I don't know if there is a quick and out of the box solution for password expiration handling, but with most of the customers we do set up SSPR.

This gives us possibility to handle complete password lifecycle, from setting initial password, changing passwords, forgotten password functionality and also password expiration notifications: www.netiq.com/.../t45sapdfh5rd.html

Yeah. That was what I have done in the past, but then I used an open-source app for this. For our small shop is it av overkill though so I might resort to a weekly report from DS and alert my coworkers over morning coffee :)
