Call for testing for 3.6: password expiry?

As Tru64 is kind of odd... how does password expiry work in the RFC that
might break platforms?

As it stands now, the Tru64 system password expiration methods work, at
least when OpenSSH is built with SIA support (and when running in
Enhanced Security mode; I don't think Base Security on Tru64 supports
password expiration).  If I try to open a TTY connection (I don't know
what happens on non-interactive sessions) and my password has expired, I
get the Tru64 prompts for changing my password.  Even if I use a key to
connect, I have to enter my old password before changing it.
