On Linux there are different options for the passwd binary. Best check man passwd on your system.

Thanks. I read "man passwd", but I didn't see the answer there (Is this related to password expiration only? because my password does not need changing, rather my account itself is about to expire, and I wanna know when).

Try if you have a -S switch:
Code:
passwd -S

Description should be in the man page. You still did not say what kind of Unix/Linux you use, maybe you have different options for passwd or can use another tool to check such stuff.
It should display what is in the /etc/shadow for your account hopefully.

On "passwd -S" I get "invalid option".
I'm afraid I know almost nothing about the system, which is why I gave no description. It's Unix. Maybe Solaris (?). The shell I'm currently using is tcsh.

Try "uname" or "uname -a".

My god, it seems to be Linux! I'm sorry ...
on "uname -a" I get:
Linux math1 2.6.16.54-0.2.8-smp #1 SMP Mon Jun 23 13:41:12 UTC 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
