[X4U] Password Expiration?

[Peter Krug]

I've talked to our Admin regarding this.  He tells me that these 
options will authenticate the user to the network, not control the 
login of the user into the user space on the computer itself.  I need 
password expiration at the login screen.  Maybe he is wrong though, 
I'll check into it.

Thanks,

Peter

I love OS X
