Kind of off the question but,

Since ADSM allows the user to reuse the same password when the old
one expires (not nice) we can't think of a good reason to have it
expire.

We'd like to see ADSM let us customize the requirements for
nodeid/password.  Things like:

      o Password must be at least <n> characters
      o Nodeid   must be at least <n> characters
      o New password must not be one of the last <n> passwords used
      o New password cannot be certain words

   ... you get the idea.
