AIX 4.2.1  ADSM Server 3.1.0.3 using shared memory.

When an administrator's password expires, they are prevented from logging in
without being given a chance to enter either an old or new password.  My
concern is that if all the passwords should expire, we couldn't start an
admin session.

Is this by design or is this a bug that is associated with shared memory?

A sample of the problem:
