Thanks. I am still learning Ruby so I will look into accessors in more
detail.

What I am trying to do is call the HPUX provider and use it to set the min
and max age that gets passed back to the parent. Then I also need to be
able to verify the right commands are used to reset the expiration when the
user password is updated if it is a trusted setup.
