[c-nsp] Left-field trivia questions...

(1) Is it just me, or has cisco-nsp been spitting out ancient email
messages for the last couple of days?  I've gotten emails dating back to
2010, and it's not just the current timestamps, the embedded "On month
day, year, so-and-so wrote..." is also old.

(2)  As my equipment this week has started spitting out the stale TACACS
"Password is about to expire" messages (it's that time again), I have
this fleeting memory in my head from years ago that you used to be able
to "change" your password when logging in by some magic... like just
doing carriage return at the password prompt, and it would then prompt
you for the old and new passwords.  Again, it was years ago, and I seem
to remember this on a CatOS switch (not IOS), and we may have been
running Cisco ACS at the time...  Ring any bells?  or is it just cobwebs
in my head?  :)
