One of the features of SR10 registry is to be able to specify how long
password should be changed. However, I never get it working. IN SR10.1, once
an account's password is expired, user logging from console will be asked to
re-enter multiple times (about five to six) and DM eventually gives up and
the original password is kept.

Now it seems password aging still doesn't work under SR10.2. However, the
result is a bit different. When I log on to a console, DM asks a new password
and re-enter to verify it. So far so good, however, after a while DM returns
an error, "Too many tries, password not changed".

Logging from a shell via /com/login works fine with password aging.

Does anyone know if this is my setup problem or it's a bug? If so does
SR10.3 fix already?
