Accounts that have been inactive still prompt to change passwords - if you telnet the same servers you get kicked out immediately. On the Solaris 9 servers running SUN's ssh the inactive accounts are being locked. Any ideas?

deliberately excluded due to inconsistent handling of that field on various
OS's.

There is a comment in auth-shadow.c indicating that this is a TODO itme.
