Re: Correct Syntax for Setting and Modifying a Principal's PasswordExpiration Time.

[Michael B Allen <mba2000@ioplex.com>]

The kadmin/util.c:str2time_t function would have to be modified.

    176 int
    177 str2time_t (const char *str, time_t *t)
    178 {
    179     const char *p;
    180     struct tm tm, tm2;
    181
    182     memset (&tm, 0, sizeof (tm));
    183
    184     if(strcasecmp(str, "never") == 0) {
    185     *t = 0;
    186     return 0;
    187     }
    188
    189     if(strcasecmp(str, "now") == 0) {
    190     *t = time(NULL);
    191     return 0;
    192     }
    193
    194     p = strptime (str, "%Y-%m-%d", &tm);
