Darren/Dharma,

Thanks for the solution.
I checked and I dint had those patches in our openssh code base ie.
In auth-pam.c I can see this code is if 0'ed out.
#if 0
                case PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD:
                        message_cat(&__pam_msg, use_privsep ?
                            NEW_AUTHTOK_MSG_PRIVSEP :
NEW_AUTHTOK_MSG);
                        /* flag that password change is necessary */
                        password_change_required = 1;
                        /* disallow other functionality for now */
                        no_port_forwarding_flag |= 2;
                        no_agent_forwarding_flag |= 2;
                        no_x11_forwarding_flag |= 2;
                        break;
#endif

I looked up on http://www.zip.com.au/~dtucker/openssh/old.html and I
see so many passwd expiry patches ie. from passexpire20-24. Which one
should I apply ?All or passexpire24.patch will fix all of my problems.

Thanks a ton!
