[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#573018: passwd: Chage account locking mismatch (doc-bug?)

[Patrik Schindler]

Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.1.1-6+lenny1
Severity: normal

The manpage of chage states:

  Passing the number -1 as the EXPIRE_DATE will remove an account
  expiration date.

But it's not possible to set this from the interactive questions, chage
provides.

Perhaps this falls in a similar category with bug id #562221?
