Doing this you need to change the shadow

See also the SUN man page:

Hi,

You can right a small script using expect (expect automates interactive applications). For more information about expect have a look: another user script
You'll find a link in this topic.

Good luck

On AIX you need to change the user file

*

  • expires Defines the expiration time for the user account.
  •           Possible values: a valid date in the form MMDDHHMMYY or 0.

  •           If 0 the account does not expire.  If 0101000070 the account

  •           is disabled.  The range for YY is:

  •                   00 - 38    years 2000 thru 2038

  •                   39 - 99    years 1939 thru 1999
