ssh will prompt you to change your password when it's expired. i wouldnt'
call it a problem. It might depend on the "use login" feature of the
sshd_config file.

Well.... telnet access for example prompts a user to change the password
when their password expires. Obviously I am getting rid of telnet and
replacing it with SSH. So is this a security feature of OpenSSH? Note
that ssh.com doesn't have this problem (security feature), at least on my
4.3.3 host.
And yes, root is not allowed to log on remotely.
Still looking for an answer...
