The problem we had with using the shadow attributes is that not all
platforms honor them (I don't recall seeing Solaris update
shadowLastChange).  You'd also need to remember to update the
shadowLastChange attribute manually if you reset a user's password by
some mechanism outside of PAM (from the Administrator's Console, for
example).
