Expired password handling in openssh-2.5.1p1/2

[Lewandowsky, Matt]

Another platform I'd like to see this for is Solaris... Enough people run it
and have expiring passwords that it is probably worth it. Of course, once we
see the IRIX code, it wouldn't be that hard to port it to Solaris. (At least
from what I can tell...)
