generated passwords before user authentication is possible.

was run.
— Password-Valid Flag = No.
— Postdated Certificate Flag = No.

possible.
39.2 The passwd_import Command Syntax
The passwd_import command has the following syntax:
dceshared/bin/passwd_import [-h ][-c ] -d pathname [-i ][-o org]\
[-p password][-u username][-v]
where:
-h Displays usage information.
-c Runs in check mode; processes the command showing conflicts,
but makes no changes to the registry.
-d pathname The path to the directory containing the password and group files
to be imported.
-i Specifies that identical name strings are not in conflict, but
represent the same identity.
