NAME

passwd_exp - password/account expiration checking tool

SYNOPSIS

passwd_exp [options] [USERNAME]

DESCRIPTION

passwd_exp warns users of password/account expiration via email. It extends similar function of login process, that prints such a messages at login time, but many users do not login for a long (long) time and only download/forward their email, so they have absolutely no chance to find out what's happening with their account.

This script will warn them (via email), and save you from request to re-enable users accounts that has been 'magicaly' disabled by that BAD BAD man called Linux or whatever :) (And be sure there will be some if you have system with many users forcing them to change their passwords to get just a little more security).

Extra feature of this script is listing of expired user accounts so you will have some more info about your system.
