NAME
       lchage - Display or change user password policy

SYNOPSIS
       lchage [OPTION]... user

DESCRIPTION
       Displays or allows changing password policy of user.

OPTIONS
       -d, --date=days
	      Set the date of last password change to days after Jan 1 1970.

	      Set  days	 to  -1 to disable password expiration (i.e. to ignore
	      --mindays, and --maxdays and related settings).

	      Set days to 0 to enforce password change on next	login.	 (This
	      also   disables	password  expiration  until  the  password  is
	      changed.)

       -E, --expire=days
	      Set the account expiration date to days after Jan 1  1970.   Set
	      days to -1 to disable account expiration.

       -i, --interactive
	      Ask  all questions when connecting to the user database, even if
	      default answers are set up in libuser configuration.

       -I, --inactive=days
	      Disable the account after days after password expires (after the
	      user  is	required  to  change the password).  Set days to -1 to
	      keep the account enabled indefinitely after password expiration.

       -l, --list
	      Only list current user's policy and make no changes.

       -m, --mindays=days
	      Require at least days days between password changes.   Set  days
	      to 0 or -1 to disable this requirement.

	      If  this	value  is  larger than the value set by --maxdays, the
	      user cannot change the pasword.

       -M, --maxdays=days
	      Require changing the password after  days	 since	last  password
	      change.  Set days to -1 to disable password expiration.

       -W, --warndays=days
	      Start  warning the user days before password expires (before the
	      user is required to change the password).	 Set days to 0	or  -1
	      to disable the warning.

EXIT STATUS
       The exit status is 0 on success, nonzero on error.

NOTES
       Note  that  “account  expiration”  (set	by  --expire) is distinct from
       “password expiration” (set by --maxdays).  Account  expiration  happens
       on a fixed date regardless of password changes.	Password expiration is
       relative to the date of last password change.
