Will SSH ever support password aging?

It seems like this has been a problem forever; with telnet turned off
and SSH as the only means of authenticating to my Solaris systems I
cannot use password aging because the user is never prompted to change
their password. Same thing with using passwd -df to force a change on
first login.

Will SSH *ever* support this? Currently using OpenSSH_3.8p1

Are there any known work arounds for this? As it stands now I either
have to turn off password aging and fight off the auditors, or be
bothered with endless "can you reset my password" requests.
