Some time ago I had written an app that will constantly change
user/group/acct passwords every "n" seconds, minutes, hours, days etc.

The "n" timer is user defined. Control-Y is enabled if program run from a
session.

Cobol source, TurboIMAGE data base, message file ...

Plug all the user.acct,group names into the data base and only the
passwords for those user.acct,group's will be randomly changed at interval
defined by "n" above.

It works...

If anyone would like a copy of this app let me know and I will send it onto
you.
