Summary: chage reports an incorrect date for last password change 
Category: None
Group: None
Resolution: None


Initial Comment:
If I create a new user after midnight GMT in my local time zone, the /etc/shadow file has a value for days since the epoch of last password change which is for tomorrow.  When I run 'chage -l newuser', it reports the Last password change as the next day.

i.e.

> date
Mon Mar 11 22:11:37 EDT 2012
> useradd fakeUser
> chage -l fakeUser
