Given the current implementation, I think it's correct to say that
the password expires not the account:
1. the userid isn't deleted or anything like that.
2. validuntil is only checked in password authentication methods; if you
are able to connect via a non-password auth method (eg IDENT) then it's
not checked.
I've never been quite sure whether #2 is a bug or a feature, though.
