I don't believe that X will currently run on the quadra's or centrises 
because of an internal video configuration problem (but since someone 
just posted patches that'll get a Q660av to work, I might be wrong on 
this one ;-)

You must have put something in the passwd entry field that specifies when 
the account in question expires.  Take a look at the passwd man page to 
check out the format.  Also, you may have a comma in the encrypted 
password itself, which generally is a problem with passwd expiration.  If 
this doesn't help, please email a copy of the password entry in question 
(probably from /etc/passwd is best), and I'll see what I can figure out.

Later.
