The values in /etc/default/passwd are the defaults to be applied to
accounts that have no aging information on the next password change
(including the first setting of the password on a new account).
The values in /etc/shadow are the per user values.

If there are already entries in /etc/shadow for the account those values are
preserved. If there are no entries AND /etc/default/passwd has values for
MINWEEKS, MAXWEEKS, WARNWEEKS then those are added to the entry in /etc/shadow
when that users password is changed, they witll take effect from that
moment onwards.
