I feel really stupid for asking this because it seems so simple. When I go to redhat-config-users and set password expiration information, nothing seems to happen in the way of warning users. For example, I set a my ID to 0 days before change allowed, 18 days before change required, 5 days warning. Then I go to /etc/shadow and I can see that the changes were applied (I think) but when I log in, nothing happens. By this I mean that using VNC, KDE doesn't start and using a diskless xterminal, I am kicked back to the chooser window. I am using RH 7.2 with KDE 2.2.1. FWIW, if I ssh into the server, as this test user, I do get a warning.
