Notification of password expiry.

It can be done but it's not something that's part of Solaris.
Basically you'd have to check /etc/shadow for the password change date and the number of days for password changes. Get today's date, subtract seven days from it (for example), add the password change number of days to the password change date. If that number is greater than today - 7 days, send them an e-mail.
We added the users e-mail address to the GECOS field (:name,e-mail
and we just send them a message each day. If it's expired, we send them a "your account has expired, your scripts aren't running, please contact the help desk" message.

partimaged-passwd(8) Partition Image Server Configuration partimaged-passwd(8) NAME
partimaged-passwd - Manage partimaged user accounts SYNTAX
partimaged-passwd [-Dhl] username password partimaged-passwd [-Dhl] username DESCRIPTION
partimaged can either authenticate against local user accounts (This needs access to /etc/shadow. As this is a potential security risk this method is not recommended) or its own password database in /etc/partimaged/passwd.db. To simplify the management of the partimaged user database this tool was written. It allows to easily add and remove users or list the users in the database. All users in this database are allowed to access the partimaged server. OPTIONS
-D username Delete the specified user from the password file. -l List users in password file and exit. -h Output help information and exit. FILES
