Here's the patch that allows msec to accept "-1" as the password's age. It
was generated out of the discovery that webmin creates new user ids with -1
as their password age. Recent traffic indicates that there may be other
ways to cause chage to complain about a -1 age (and hence cause msec to be
unhappy).
