I am not *certain* as to how LOGINOUT implements the last-chance password
expiry message, but have you tried setting the password expiration time
to some point in the past?  I believe that if the password date has passed,
but the password-expired bit is not set, LOGINOUT will give the user that
message about "your password has expired, change it before you log out!"
and set the expired bit.  Try it and see!

For now, the only way I can think of to FORCE a password change, is to run
a program from SYLOGIN that checks for the expired bit and spawns a SET
PASSWORD command if set.  Or, if you can wait until VMS V5.0, I am told
that forcing a change will be a standard option in that version.
