...

     -w warn
           Set warn field for name. The warn field contains the
           number of days before the password expires and the
           user is warned. This option is not valid if password
           aging is disabled.

     -x max
           Sets maximum field for name. The max field contains
           the number of days that the password is valid for
           name. The aging for name will be turned off immedi-
           ately if max is set to -1. If it is set to 0, then the
           user is forced to change the password at the next
           login session and aging is turned off.

     -d Deletes password for name. The login name will not be
           prompted for password. It is only applicable to the
           files repository.
