The -E option is used to set a date on which the user’s account will
no longer be accessible. The expiredate option is the number of days since
January 1, 1970 on which the accounted is locked. The date may also be
expressed in the format YYYY-MM-DD (or the format more commonly used in
your area). A user whose account is locked must contact the system
administrator before being able to use the system again.
Did you set this?
