Thanks for the heads-up. Maybe I'll wait to horribly break my production

Ok. I'll check that next. I tried setting the column to -1, but I didnt 
check in the conf file if it was setup for -1 to identify an unexpirable 
password.

I've tried both... They both do the same thing... Just gives me the 
bash-2.05$ prompt and doesnt go to the home directory... I'll mess with it

Thanks so much for your help so far!
