openssh unix dev - Jun 2003 - openssh-3.6.1p2-passexpire20.patch prevents /etc/nologin disp lay on AIX

Courtesy follow up back to the unix-dev list (mainly for those like me who
searched the archives)

Thanks to the very swift response of Darren, a patched auth.c did the trick

Patch enclosed below (apply after the p20)

I'm guessing he'll either update p20 or issue p21 soon.

Many thanks

Andrew

For anyone affected by this (it was specific to AIX when /etc/nologin was
used), I have put up a passexpire21 patch.  This is the only change from
20.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.

Quite a while back, it was mentioned that for 3.7, password expiry would 
be addressed.  Is this still the case?  Will the password expiry 
patch that is commonly available be used? Or will some other mechanism be 
used to accomplish this well needed functionality?

Thanks,
Brian Hayward
