I was reading more about how passwords are stored on linuxand came across the number of days until password must be changed.The article I was reading says The number of days after which password must be changed  (99999 indicates user can keep his or her password  unchanged for many, many years)]The 99999 days is around 277 years. I was wondering if in the year 2250 there will be another y2k situation where people's *nix machines using shadow format will not be able to login. Is there a way to set this date to infinity. It seem like a really bad design decision...
