I think that the framework auth libraries, if configured, could push a notice onto the stack about password expiration (on logon). I don't think putting it into passwd makes sense.

password change are required, in an accounts block. It looks like these functions already exist in the accounts module - does it make more sense to implement them in the passwd module instead? No, I don't think so, at least not "instead". This information might make sense inside Passwd additionally, but that would duplicate code OTOH.

Bug 2304 got me to thinking that it would be helpful to display information to the user that informs them of the statuf of their password (essentially for an environment that supports password aging). For instance, if shadow passwords are used, with aging, it would be helpful to display a notification in the stack when a user's password is close to expiring. Or to display # of days until a password change are required, in an accounts block. It looks like these functions already exist in the accounts module - does it make more sense to implement them in the passwd module instead?
