A simple solution, if /etc/profile is executed, is to put a second login
as the first command in /etc/profile. This has the added benifit of being
able to exclude some logins from the second password requirment (like uucp
logins). It also allows you to code in shell using crypt(1) (still storing
the passwords encrypted) or in C, your choice.
