SUMMARY: ssh doesn't care about password aging

<Original question below>

Hi agn,

and thanks to Matt (mlh@zipworld.com.au) for the fast reply! It seems we
need a newer openssh or a patch for the old one. It's a known behavior
of the old-fashioned ssh servers, :-)

Matt's reply:

==================/snip/======================
Get a recent openssh, i.e. 3.8 or later.

Handling expired passwords required a patch up to
3.7.1

See this page for more info:

Thanks again to the list and Matt for the fast and reliable help,

keep on hackin',

Harald
