Are you expiring passwords are expiring accounts?

This doesn't apply to you, but maybe there's an equiv in linux:

From FreeBSD pw(8)

USER LOCKING

The pw utility supports a simple password locking mechanism for users; it works by prepending the string `*LOCKED*' to the beginning of the pass- word field in master.passwd to prevent successful authentication. The lock and unlock commands take a user name or uid of the account to lock or unlock, respectively. The -V, -C, and -q options as described above are accepted by these commands.

Then just write a cron job that locks expired accounts / expired passwords.

Is there an alternative mechanism I could employ that does?
