The same as Roger and Cal, at QUT staff and students have to agree to
abide by the Information Faculty Rules (schedule 1) every time they
change their central account password, which is every 60 days.  Staff
and students have to use their central account to access any major IT
resource, like a lab computer, email, staff/student information portal etc.

Our password change process is done via a web portal, which hasn't
experienced any problems on win/mac/*nix platforms.
