Re: Correct Syntax for Setting and Modifying a Principal's Password Expiration Time.

[Love Hörnquist Åstrand <lha@kth.se>]

Hello Michael,

If you look a little bit further down it parses the date. However,  
strptime() is
not really consistant over diffrent implementations, so it needs some  
more
help (that I just commited to HEAD).

Love
