Can I ask for some advice, as to where in the code would be the logical
place to add code to ask a user to change his password? Presumably
do_pam_account is the *wrong* place. Guess I should build a
do_pam_password function, but who should be calling it?

I think it would be nice to have the ability to prompt for a new password
even if you don't use pam. So maybe it could be more general function ?
