No, I don't expect it to, since I don't have that attribute or anything that looks
like it might be a good substitute.

I'm not worried about that...expiry worked with the old rlm_pam using Unix expiry.
When exporting Unix to LDAP, the expiry data was exported from /etc/shadow to the
two LDAP attributes mentioned.  I was hoping that perhaps there was a module that
could calculate between the two and figure out that the password was expired and
take it from there.  I figured it a long shot but worth asking.

Thanks!
