    I've been doing some testing with expiring passwords (30 day limit, 5
    day warning, 3 days expires) on my server and noticed a very nasty problem.

    WDM does not notify me of a pending expiration.

    This means that there is no way for a "typical" user to know that their
    password is about to expire.

    I consider this to be a very bad thing.

    Are there alternatives?
    Configuration settings in WDM?
    Alternative Display Managers (not KDM or GDM please, I use neither)?
