By default, if you allocate a passwd, it will be non expiry only

This depends on how you are set up. Most sensible organisations will insist that the default is something like "Expires immediately and every 30 days"

These are far to sensitive to allow non-expiry as the default. muraliinfy04 will have the defaults set correctly for their security policy and needs and exception which I think MadeInGermany has supplied.
