Changing the default values
When invoked with the -D option, useradd will either dis-
play the current default values, or update the default
values from the command line.

Use
-D if you want to change the defaults. If you have not done this before, you may not want to do this just yet
As for expire day
-e that depends on your security policy and how much grief you want to give users. Perhaps others care to give guidelines on this? (30? 60? 90? days)
