[SLUG] Weird password expiration problem.

I have this weird password expiration problem for one of over 60 user accounts on a Redhat Linux 7.2 server. After 30 days the password no longer works unless I issue a passwd command to change the password. Then in another 30 days I'll have to do it again. No other accounts on this server has this problem.

/etc/login.defs
PASS_MAX_DAYS 99999

/etc/passwd
testuser:x:599:2501::/home/testuser:/bin/bash

/etc/shadow
testuser:$1$XfzqoAC.$JUYDZR30AQe5JSwi0mVzb1:12216:0:99999:7:::

Does the above look ok? Is there another file that controls expiration.

FYI - I'm using linuxconf-1.25r7-3 to make the user account changes.

Brett
