Well, all the users in shadow -- their passwords expire in 99999 days. The machine account doesn't have anything specified in the password expiration field; I assume that must mean that it just does not expire at all. For the user accounts, in the following field, is a 7, representing that 7 days before the password will expire, the user will be warned.
Is it possible that the machine account's expiration time affects the time that a user must change his password? If there's nothing in that field, does that imply no expiration, or default expiration period? Thanks !
