There are a lot of possibilities, but here is one way. Use that flag
suggested, and also run a nightly cron job which looks at the "account
experiation date" field in /etc/shadow (it's the next-to-last one -- see
`man 5 shadow`). This is in days since Jan 1, 1970. Compare that to the
_current_ days since that time `echo $(($(date  +%s) / 86400))` and if the
number is higher, drop in the webserver configuration which redirects to the
expired notice.
