sol 10 passwd expiration


I am running Solaris 10 Generic_118833-24 and the password expiration
interval is set to 12 weeks (84 days). My question pertains to the
field in the /etc/shadow file that stores the date on which a password
expires, expressed as a number of days since January 1, 1970. When a
user sets their password this value is updated. However, that value
also updated when a user's account is locked ( i.e. from three failed
logins) and when the account is unlocked either using "passwd -l" or
SMC. Therefore, the user will have another 84 days before their
password expires everytime their account is locked or unlocked.
question -- Is there anyway to keep the passwd expiration date the same
after unlocking a user account?

Thanks
