User Accounts -> Policies -> Password & account policies

Set the 'Post create command' field to the path to a script that does
what you need.  Read /usr/lib/linuxconf/lib/account*.sh to see how
this system of scripts works.  It should be pretty trivial to do what
you need with this.

My guess (not tested!!) is that a script as simple as:

#!/bin/sh
. /usr/lib/linuxconf/lib/accountcmd.sh
/usr/bin/chage -d 0 $USERID

would do it.
