Thanks to:
Martin Moore (HP)
Ann Majeske (Dec)
for their prompt and effective replies. I've enclosed their messages below.
several notes from me are:
1. while Tru64 records time in secords in prpasswd, linux (RH) records in
days in its shadow password
2. locked_out_acct_es man pages are available only on my V5 systems. On
V4.0F it's locked_out_es
3. u_lock[@] field is still a mystery. After I EXPLICITLY locked some test
users(in diffent ways), I just couldn't find u_lock[@] fields under their
account records.

==================
-Second question first: yes, time_t is the standard UNIX epoch time
-(number of seconds since the beginning of 1970).
-
-Now the first part: it may be that some of your accounts are
-"disabled" rather than "locked". Disabled means that the system
-has automatically disabled the account due to violation of various
-security constraints (too many login failures, etc.), while locked
-means an explicit administrative lock, which is indicated by the
-presence of u_lock without the @. (I could send you a complete
-list of the criteria for disabling an account if you want.)
