Always asked to update password at login Utopia

Hi all;

I've done my best to find a solution on my own, but I haven't found  
the help I'm looking for. I'm hoping I can get this easily resolved  
by throwing this out to the community.

After creating the user with the below schema, the system ALWAYS  
prompts the user to change his/her password at any login (local or  
remote)... at every login attempt. I can see that 'shadowLastChange'  
is updated properly, but somehow this is making no difference. I've  
found that if I set 'shadowMax' to '99999', I don't get this  
behaviour - however, that isn't really a password policy. I need the  
90 password update policy in place to deploy my OpenLDAP system.

I want the system to bug the user about requiring a password change  
IF the password is really aged and within the 'shadowWarning' threshold.

Am I missing attributes? How can I get my desired password policy to  
work?

Please help!!  Much Appreciated!

-Rafael.
