Hello,
I've setup an sftp server for some users. I generally send them their username/password in the email, and force a password change.

Lately, I am having difficulty communicating with people in trying to make them understand that password needs to be changed. Filezilla shows the Server prompt, but it is usually not fully visible. End user need to scroll to read the whole message. It is not a big deal, but for some reason I keep on having users getting confused.

I want to change the default text message

Code:
You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced) Changing password for foouser. (current) UNIX password:


to something more user friendly. I can't see to find any file where I can make that change. Does anyone know, how I can go about changing the default prompts.

Thanks,
