This can be overriden by "su -s /bin/sh nobody"; the issue here is that the third field of nobody's entry in /etc/shadow (which indicates when the password was last changed) is set to "0" (any positive value would work).
Interesting. I wonder if that is a bug in our default shadow file or some weired feature. Shouldn't this just be empty to disable password aging?
I think so - FWIW, I can't think of any reason why we would want password aging for system accounts. -- Gaetan
