- I have been playing about with password aging (SunOS 4.1.2) and would be
- intersted to hear if anyone knows exactly what the format of what comes
- after the ',' in the password field of the /etc/passwd file. I know that
- ",." implements immediate expiry, but I would like to know the rest. My
- experiments haven't generated an obvious pattern (obvious to me anyway :) ).

- I presume this is all different in Solaris 2 !
