Sounds like someone with root authority is issuing a chage command.  The
system doesn't just arbitrarily expire passwords.

Subject: Re: How to make Linux passwords non-expirable?


When we create a password - it is created with a -1 password days on the
expiration date. Somehow now and then, one or two passwords become
expired.

Is there any way to get around the passwords getting expired
permanently?.

Eventually we will set up some kind of time limit for the expiration
date to keep auditors off.
