<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Indeed password aging does not work with
OpenSSH 3.0.1p1 on Solaris 2.6. From what I can tell something is different with
Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 2.8. I know that password expiration doesn't cause a
problem on Solaris8. I'm unclear as to whether the problem is with OpenSSH code
or Solaris. All I know is that the latest PAM patches are not what fix the
problem, even on Solaris8. As I said before I did not have the latest PAM
patches on my Solaris 8 compile box and password aging worked fine. I am not
clear as to what on Solaris 8 allows this to work. So, in summary, there has not
been a resolution to this problem....at least not one that works without mucking
with the shadow file, etc.</FONT></DIV>
