The chage program requires a shadow password file to
be available.

+ The chage program will report only the information from the shadow
+ password file. This implies that configuration from other sources
+ (e.g. LDAP or empty password hash field from the passwd file) that
+ affect the user's login will not be shown in the chage output.
+
+
+ The chage program will also not report any
+ inconsistency between the shadow and passwd files (e.g. missing x in
+ the passwd file). The pwck can be used to check
+ for this kind of inconsistencies.
+ The chage command is restricted to the root
user, except for the option, which may be used by
an unprivileged user to determine when their password or account is due
