The actual AuthSYSTEM.pm version doesn't work with the /etc/shadow file
in Unix, and the passwords and expiry information are in this file in
many Unix. You can get it with a very little patch using the
Shadowf/Shadows Perl module. I use the Solaris native user database as
repository for usernames/passwords/expiry-dates and it works fine for
me.
