Version: 3.59
Severity: wishlist

'adduser --system' adds apparently users with expire and warn period
from /etc/login.defs

For example it reads the following setting in /etc/login.defs
PASS_MAX_DAYS   183
PASS_MIN_DAYS   0
PASS_WARN_AGE   183

Example: After 1/2 year after upgrading to sarge logcheck (which added a
new system user) suddenly stopped mailing its reports.

Sarge default settings are
PASS_MAX_DAYS   99999 
PASS_MIN_DAYS   0 
PASS_WARN_AGE   7

Maybe 'PASS_MAX_DAYS 0' instead of 99999 would be the sane setting for
_system_  users, if it would mean no expire period at all?? But this is
not documented in shadow(5) and I have not verified this value is sane.
