AIX and ADMCHG

In AIX, whenever a root user or a member of the security group changes a
user's password, the ADMCHG attribute is set which means that the next
time the user logs in, he will be forced to change his password. 
However, ssh is currently ignoring ADMCHG.  

I havn't seen any mention of this on the mailing list or Bugzilla, so
I'm considering writing a patch to correct this problem.  Has anyone
else looked at this?
