    Hello,
    2 Questions on this:
    what is the value for expires? (show: lsuser YOURUSERNAME)
    and
    what do you expect from the System?

    To turn on these expire Items in your User profile will show you at login Time that your Account will expire in ... days.
    No Mail is send.
    If you were logged into the system you probably will never get this message, afaik this will only send at login time.

    Cheers,
    ku
