Actually that one modifies the eighth field in /etc/shadow. I need to modify
the fifth field. From 'man shadow'
int sp_max; /* days before change required */
See the following example from /etc/shadow:
BEFORE:
killme:[erased]:12657:0:0:7:::
AFTER (usermod -e 2030-01-01 killme):
killme:[erased]:12657:0:0:7::21915:
CORRECT:
killme:[erased]:12657:0:99999:7:::
The fifth field needs to become 99999. I'll have to figure out how to do this
with a command rather than hacking it. Also, I still don't know what
program made these users like this.
