>Description:

While trying to figure out why passwords were not being set with the 
appropriate expiration date/time even though the appropriate lines in
/etc/login.conf and login.conf.db (made with cap_mkdb), I started digging
through the sources.   src/usr.bin/passwd/local_passwd.c specifies that
the password expiration is taken from the variable 'passwordperiod' and
not passwordtime, as is specified in the manual page.


>How-To-Repeat:

man 5 login.conf
grep password /usr/src/usr.bin/passwd/*c

>Fix:
	
change the specification to 'passwordperiod', or, change local_passwd to
look for 'passwordtime' instead.
