[TriLUG] Password expiration

[Janyne Kizer]

I feel really stupid for asking this because it seems so simple.  When I
go to redhat-config-users and set password expiration information,
nothing seems to happen in the way of warning users.  For example, I set
a my ID to 0 days before change allowed, 3 days before change required,
3 days warning before change and 4 days before account inactive.  Then I
go to /etc/shadow and I can see that the changes were applied (I think)
but when I log in, nothing happens in the way of warning.  I am using RH
7.2 with KDE 2.2.1.  FWIW, if I ssh into the server, I still don't get a
warning.
