Are you sure you want password expiration ? Can you show it has any benefits ?

Is this of the type
    password 60 days old - pick a new one
  or
    account unused for 60 days - locked until SA intervenes
  or
    brand new account unused for 7 days - locked until SA intervenes.

IMO the first these is undesirable.
