Title:
  [regression] passwd -e locks account

Status in Landscape Client:
  Invalid
Status in pam package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in pam source package in Intrepid:
  Fix Released
Status in pam source package in Jaunty:

Bug description:
  On an up to date intrepid desktop or server

  - create a user "test"
  - sudo passwd -e test
  - try to log in as test
  --> "you are required to change your password immediately (root enforced)" 
  "Authentication failure" 
  then back at the login prompt

  I would have expected to be asked for a new password where it seems
  that the account is locked.

  Impact: users that should be able to change their passwords at login
  time are instead locked out.

  Regression potential: none of note

  TEST CASE: expire a user account with 'passwd -e'; try to log in; see
  the above-mentioned error.  install the updated package, try to log in
  again, and get a prompt for changing the password.
