Your suggestions could be set out as:-

Compare today's /etc/passwd to yesterday (sort first for ease)
Save current /etc/passwd to use tomorrow

You can then look for password expiry based on the content of /etc/security/password It's a little awkward because:-

The Last password change time is stored in seconds from 1/1/1970
The expiry will be in weeks, either per user or in the default stanza

Using /etc/passwd as a driver, you can read one stanza from /etc/security/passwd with grep -Ep "^$userid:" /etc/security/passwd although you then have to consider the points above to decide if the password is about to expire, depending also how you define 'about to expire'

Does this give you something to work with?

       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.
