What is the problem exactly? There is no question in your mail.

I hate to state the obvious: The message is generated by sshd because
the root password has expired ie. not been changed within the time
limit specified in the system policy set by the system administrator.

Also, if this is Sun's sshd (as opposed to portable OpenSSH) your
problem (whatever it is) should be reported to Sun instead.
