That is strange. I've never seen RH put a expiration on a password. How did
you create the username/password?
[root@vulcan /root]# adduser test
[root@vulcan /root]# passwd test
Changing password for user test
New UNIX password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is too short
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully
[root@vulcan /root]#
This is what I always do and it works perfectly.

Hi,
Thanks for your help on make problem solved.
Now passwords, I just setup a user and gave him a password. I do not want
it to expire. When I wnat it to change I will change it.
When the user logs in the system tells him his password will expire in -1
days. What is going on and how do I correct it? Man page does not help me.
I must be missing something.
Thanks
