I looked at the rlm_unix module and it appears that it is only rejecting
the authentication request if the shadow file has an Expiration date
such as YYYY-MM-DD. Should or will be the maximum days the password is
valid for compared against the last change date in the shadow file
before the users account is locked, be part of the rlm_unix module
reject once the password is older than the maximum age allowed?

Shadow File with aging from Red Hat 7.3:

Username:password:12069:0:180:7:1::

The 12069 is date of last change.

The 180 is maximum days the password is valid for.



Thanks
Andrew

  Look at the source code to the rlm_unix module.
