I want to change the password expiration to non expire and for that i used below command



[root@test-host ~]# chage -l test
Last password change : password must be changed
Password expires : password must be changed
Password inactive : password must be changed
Account expires : never
Minimum number of days between password change : 0


chage -m 0 -M 99999 -I -1 -E -1 test

[root@test-host ~]# chage -l test
Last password change : Jun 10, 2017
Password expires : never
Password inactive : never
Account expires : never
Minimum number of days between password change : 0
Maximum number of days between password change : 99999
Number of days of warning before password expires : 7


But eventhough it is now in non expire status, it is asking me to change the password.So is it anyway to disable change of existing password after expire

Have you tried:



passwd -x -1 -n -1 -w -1 ${USER}



It may produce the same result but it could do the trick.
