Actually, that environment variable is for setting the shell timeout.
I.E., if you're inactive for a given period of time, the shell closes.
Setting to 0 disables that. But it has nothing to do with passwords. :-)
I'm not sure *what* happened along the way, but it appears that I did have
the setting correct (in /etc/security/msec/level.local, I had
"password_aging(-1)" set, which is what is supposed to do it (or at least,
it did once upon a time). I set it to 99999 and ran msec again to apply
it. I've stopped getting the warning notice for now, so I guess it worked.
