    Are you also running NIS? Password expiration isn't (well, give or take)
    supported on NIS. You could explicitly display the info in the files
    with passwd -r files -s jk1, but that's only meaningful if the system
    in question has files before nis for passwd in nsswitch.conf, or if jk1
    is only present in files and not in nis (i.e. if this isn't the NIS
    master set up to build the passwd maps from /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow).
