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

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. Regards, Luis F.
