Thanks much Robin.
Actually it was just to simplify my work.(instead of checking manually) Thank you for your post/followup. I should have tried and post the code/content. But anyway found some reference script online and i modified it and used. What ever you've posted above is really helpful in figuring out where to start. I do have system admin knowledge. But not good at scripting.
Next time, I will definitely try and post the question with sufficient data.
Thanks Robin.

Hi All,
Is this true on chage command?
-M, MAX_DAYS
Passing the number -1 as MAX_DAYS will remove checking a password's validity.
Does this means password will not expire anymore?
