Hi,

When running 'chfn' I see this option:
Expire [month day year]:

from 'man chfn':
The expire field is the date on which the account
expires.

I made a test account and set the expire time
to 01 01 2000 which was va very long time ago.
Yes my system time/date is correct.

I'm able to login with this account even though its
expired. What is the expire function supposed to do?

I would have hoped it would disable the login account
after the account 'expires'.

Does anyone know how this works? I have been searching
threw mail archives and help pages and very rarely is
this mentioned. Does it even work any more?

Any ideas appreciated.

Please CC me on any replies - i'm not on the mailing
list yet.

TIA!

Holt
