Passwords don't expire BUT if you use an account on another machine it will invalidate the password on the first machine (so use 1 account per machine).
If you run with "-autoupdate" then all you will ever need to do is issue an "rcon quit" to get the update (and not even this for mandatory updates).

This release is not mandatory so you will need to manually update at your convenience.
Does steam log when it autoupdates at all? I've not noticed it, but it would be extremely useful if steam wrote to a changelog or a updatelog file saying that on <$date:$time> hl engine successfully update to version <$vernum> or whatever so we don't have to kill the server, run steam manually and watch it struggle along, then say its already up to date.
Also do the passwords on linux servers expire from being stored after x days, as last time there was an update I had to manually update all my servers as it didn't have the email/password stored, negating the use of autoupdate really..
