NAME
chage - change user password expiry information
SYNOPSIS
chage [-m mindays] [-M maxdays] [-d lastday] [-I inactive]
[-E expiredate] [-W warndays] user
chage -l user
DESCRIPTION
chage changes the number of days between password changes
and the date of the last password change. This informa
tion is used by the system to determine when a user must
change her password. The chage command is restricted to
the root user, except for the -l option, which may be used
by an unprivileged user to determine when her password or
account is due to expire.
